Cute is what I get from the females, old or new and including my wife.  I'll take whatever I can get!

When I'm out & about in my Touring it seems to be more the female of the species that's curious.

However, they do not call it cute but usually "that's an odd one". Oh well.

They were talking about the car, right?

There are very few things that are more satisfying than rolling up alongside some POS go-cart of a Honda or whatever kids are dumping their $ into these days, in a sleeper of an '02 from outward appearances, that only you know what's under the hood/chassis, then blowing their doors off the line in your 2002. 😜

That my friend, is one of the true pleasures in life😉

Its even possible in a non sleeper 02, many of these Rice Rockets are just stockers with  stupidly oversize exhaust and too tall gearing. Inexperienced drivers make them fair game for even Survivor with its 3.91:1 gears and tight, smooth shifting gearbox.What fun!

I suppose they try to console themselves by screaming past when they catch up but deep down they know... You are beaten! Bwa Ha Ha

Well stated and so very true!

Way back in the last century, when 02s were new, the delight then was to pull up alongside an MG, Triumph, Sunbeam (not a Tiger!) or a big Healey and do the same thing.  Oh the shame of a real sports car getting its doors blown off by a little boxy sedan made by the British Motor Works!
