When Mousitch shows up at the Europen Car meet and no one pays attention to the Porsche Cayman anymore :-) It made me laugh.

This only pertains to coupes.
I disagree. I've had little kids tell me "cool car" or call it a race car in the past week.

Yes, but you have to admit the coupes are a lot more rare. I have yet to meet anyone on the road that knows what my car is.

For sure. It's a tough trade off. Drop top fun or coupe looks?

When you look back before you close the interior door to the garage just to see the lines of the car shine under the lights just one more time...

or when your wife nicknames your car "The Mistress" and her sister asks...."If you two have sex in your car is it considered a three way?"....

When even cops give you the thumbs up at stoplights

when the gas station attendant says "Wow, cool car" over the intercom

When you get followed home and asked what the car is

When little kids ask to get a ride in the batmobile.

When that hot chick in physics asks for a ride in your car.

When you come out to the parking lot and there's some guy ogling your car.

When you're allowed in Cars and Coffee.

When you wish capital punishment on people that ask if your coupe is a convertible.

When the Illinois state police officer in an unmarked car pulls you over on I=88 and says, "Didn't know they made those in an M - keep it down as unlike myself my colleagues out here won't care what it is at that speed."

When you keep hearing at gas stations, "What is that?"

When you think you have a rare car and the guy across the street and down one house who knows little to nothing about cars goes out and buys the exact car after seeing yours two weeks later.....and how you secretly loathe him even more for never washing it.

When the other guy right across the street with the '10 Z06 loves to come and look at it after it's waxed and has to remind you that his car has 505 horsepower.

When you come out from the grocery store and you see a man standing next to your car pointing out the finer things to his 12-year old son. Turns out he was a really nice guy and we talked for 10 minutes after I got there.

When you are driving down the freeway at speed and the female passenger of the car next to you, points at your car and the male driver of the car next to you, backhands the passenger and almost side swipes your car,

PS: I just remembered another story:
When you are out in town on a Sat night (couple of days before Labrone James signed with Heats) and some random drunken yuppie walks up to your passenger side window and says Labrone, is that you? (obviously he couldn't see my face)

When you are pulling away from the drive thru at the local coffee shop and the female attendant says to her coworker "Quick! You have GOT to come see this car!!!!"

Know you drive an M coupe when...

you are constantly getting asked "what model is that? is it new?" People are always shocked when I tell them its a 2007 model since most have never seen one before.

When you get pulled over and the cop questions you if you were trying to get away from him..you politely say no..and the police officer says well you definately could have....and then gives you a warning and says try to keep it under 100mph.

When your 8 year old son asks if you can keep the top down regardless of how cold it is and if he can press the "Fun" (Sport) button every time he gets in the car.
