    If you like attention, what you really need is an older, modified jeep. I know you've got a newer one but an older model with nothing less than 37 inch tires will work much better. This way you get the jeep wave about twelve times a day, as well as the "eco-fist" of Prius drivers that disapprove. As an added bonus, people (just guys actually) come talk to you at every gas station, which you'll visit a lot considering the mpg. You're welcome.

    oh no! They thought you were loaded and gave you the "Hey, you are rich like me" nod. That shouldn't be given to mere mortals.

    You could also ride a motorcycle and get the same thing, or even better, a wave.

    I like it when I come across another Miata and get the "I understand you can be a straight male and still appreciate the greatness that is the Miata" headlight flash.

    Notice a common thread through the story and the comments: GUYS react to the car you're driving. It's much less common that women do. Lots of guys out there believe that driving a certain car will help them "get the chicks". They're probably putting their resources in the wrong place. I saw this all the time when I drove my M3 convertible topless. Guys shouted out to me or gave me thumbs-up in parking lots and at stop lights while women never looked twice. On the other hand, when my WIFE drove that car on a hot day (hot meaning she's in a sports bra and the car is topless) she couldn't go more than 2 or 3 stoplights without someone asking her out.

    maybe, women don't react to other people's cars because they're too distracted talking on their cell phones! LOL

    @darthbimmer. Does your wife have a cute, single sister? ;) All I've got with my XKR as I was getting into it one day was a girl that stopped and said, "Oh, that's yours" in a slightly disappointed tone. I guess she was hoping for somebody young
