What have people said about your car?

I have to say today I got the first legitimate stare at the bird. Guy in a Milan drove past at 2mph looking at the car as if it were coated in gold, and gave me a thumbs up. Made me feel pretty goood, otherwise most people call it a Firebird.

I've had a load of stares, smiles, and nods. A few people have called it a thunderturd...one of which then got a good look at the back of the bird from his cavalier. I can't imagine what people will say once I get my custom body work done.

I always get the normal "what kind of car is that" and "whats it got under the hood" and when i tell them its a 2.3L they tend to giggle and say they didnt know tbirds had 4 bangers in them. people have no respect for anything in my town.

"I didn't expect that". "I love the color". "You kicked my cars A$$". "What do you have in it?". "You don't see those anymore". "Does it have a turbo/ is that a turbo Thunderbird"?. "Sweet ride". "It's pretty" (from the girls). "You're lying, it does not have a 4 cylinder". "You're lying. It doesn't have a V-6".

And the Number one thing said about the Thunderbird......... Wife to husband...."get out of my way stupid, THAT'S Vinnietbird and the Sport !!!!!

One guy at the gas station asked me if it had a turbo and an older gentleman asked me what year my Thunderbird was. A gas station attendant asked me how big the tank was and what kind of mileage I get out of it. Good stuff, I like it when people recognize it as a Thunderbird; there simply aren't any more around here.

I got asked tonight if mine was a figment of my imagination. The guy said it must not exist, because he's never seen it. Told him I was out driving it today before work :)

I was once sitting in the tbird in a princess auto parking lot (kinda a Canadian harbor freight) when a guy driving a tractor-trailer stopped right in the road, jumped out of the truck, ran up, and started going on about how much he's always loved those cars and how nice he thought mine was. That was kinda cool...

I hear "nice bird" every so often. Makes me swell with pride every time! lol.

Had some 16 year old boys asking me if it had a "5-oh" this summer...gave me hope that not all youngins are into rice burners.

Because of the sharp paint on mine, I get "BEAUTIFUL Thunderbird" a lot.

I've also gotten: "How much and what kind of drugs are you carrying in the trunk, sir?" (cop...)

And another from a cop "I like your car a lot man...what is is?"

Most often:
What year Tbird is that?
or
Nice TBird! What year is it?

(I've never owned a TBird and I've been hearing that for almost 18 years.)

One time, After drew this question from some teenagers:
Whoa! WTF is that!

Otherwise, I get the occasional stares and passengers looking back through the back glass or side mirror or turning back to see the front end as they pass. Drivers too except they don't turn around to look through the rear glass thankfully.
