Talking Does anyone ever get complaments from Random people?

Now I am only 17 and I consider My Monte to be a Hot Car. As I think back though the years, I think the funniest question I was ever asked was, "Wow, is your car really supercharged, or did you just put that emblem on?" When my father who was driving the car at this time said, "You can bet it's supercharged." To which the man replied, "Wow, what a hot car."

Then just the other day we were driving through the city of Noblesville, IN (I live here). The town was putting on a car show so we stopped and let people look at the car. Well as soon as we got out of the car their was a guy standing their and he turned around and man you should have seen the look on this guy's face . #KodakMoment

You should've taken a picture & shared your Kodak Moment

Yes, people & their reaction to super rides can be amazing.

Ronda and I get complements all the time on the Deuce even at stop lights. At Darb's (The little pub we go to) we are known as the "Monte couple"

Stop lights, grocery stores, burger joints, coffee shops, auto part stores, etc. I've even had people come into the shop asking who owned the white Monte and if they wanted to sell it. The principal of my daughter's school also offered to purchase it. I think some people find it refreshing to see a car that isn't a cookie cutter design and something you don't see on the road every day.

Same here. I remember when Honda ran the commercials a couple of years ago about how all other cars except the civic were bland and out of style, no offense to any Honda drivers/ Toyota drivers.

Nope, oddly enough I've never had random people compliment it. Get some compliments from friends or people in a shop i'm at, but never random ones.

I used to always get compliments at the car wash and most recently, the guys fixing my basement after Sandy asked if we were selling it. Nope That car is all mine.
