For me it was a female coworker complimenting my Q50 Redsport. Interned at a 3 letter fed agency last summer and one of the other interns who I became friendly with was a mid 20’s former sorority girl - someone you’d never expect to be a car enthusiast. Gave her a ride after work one day since her car was in the shop and immediately after walking up to my car in the garage, started complimenting it. Talked about the VR30TT engine and asked me if the turbos were giving me any trouble, then talked a little shit about how it’s still slower than her car. I asked her what she drove and she had an M2 lol
I was walking to my car when suddenly i hear “Nice muscle car!”
I drive a 2022 chrysler 300 with a V6. I relayed this to a coworker after clocking out and seeing my white on black 300 in the parking garage. He did not care and still complimented it. We got to talking in the parking garage for about an hour talking about old school muscle cars and how he had one back in the 80’s. Also saddened the V8 is getting replaced. All in all a wholesome and informative experience!
