I've had:
"I love your XR8 mate, it looks so tough. The newer ones are too European looking" "It's so loud on the outside, but then really quiet on the inside" "Nice interior" |

Usually "Nice straight VL mate". Actually I tend to get nicer comments from middle aged blokes.
A few weeks ago I had a good conversation with a bloke in his 40s about it. It was nice that it wasn't someone who asked me "is it a turbo?' for a change. |

Leaving melb airport, at lights with my cousins husband next to me at the light, he winds down his window and says to me whats wrong with your car does it need a tune up. I was in the AU and it was cold and camming over like a beauty. Always puts a smile on my face.
Always get great compliments about the mustang, little kids see the horse on the front and think it's a ferrari (I wish). The XY always gets comlpiments when its out, but most common is, is it real?

"the bloody thing pins you back in your seat AND holds you there !!!"
and from one of my mates who was in a BA XR6 manual - non turb; "we had the accelerator pedal buried to the firewall and all we saw was this black, jet-like stream of exhaust smoke and jet-like sound and...you were gone !!!" and; "you need new tyres - the one's you've got on there have no grip when you nail the throttle"

EA Wagon (3.9, 3 on the tree)
"What a *******" "I love the bench seats!" "It sounds awesome" (stock engine, rusty exhaust LOL) "Gee, thats a big car" 1967 HR Holden "That car is pure sex" "Man, that is awesome" "That paint is immaculate" (it is, too bad it is a poo brown/cream colour. White roof looks good though) "Love the chrome" "I've got a 186 sitting in the shed if you want it? 300 bucks mate" (at the petrol station, talking to a fellow HR owner) So, 75% of people hate the Falcon (its a 22 year old car, of course its a *******). The girlifriend loves the front bench when we go to the drive in though, it does sound tough for a stockie, thanks to a rusty exhaust. Too bad the front struts are rooted, they creak like hell now. Doesn't matter, new car coming in a week or two. 100% of people that have seen the HR love it. It is awesome.

By far the most comments, looks, thumbs up, girls staring seducley etc came from when I had my GT XY replica, if you want attention, just get one of those in vermillion red. Once in Hindley street I had one dood shaking his whole body just saying, its a SHAKER man SHAKER,SHAKER,lol funny as *******!
