I had an interesting experience yesterday. I was on hwy 400, (a major highway near Barrie Ontario), and I passed a guy in an older Lexus sedan. About a minute later I see this car racing up beside me in the right lane. I wondered if I had somehow made him angry. He pulled up beside me to give me thumbs up and a big smile. I slipped the car into dynamic mode and gave him the loud exhaust rattle. He smiled and gave me thumbs up, shook his head and backed off. It made my day!

It's good to be bad.

I'm likely not far from you, Mansfield, Ontario and I travel the 400 from time to time. Too bad the speed limits are so low as it really limits the fun.
Have had a similar experience on the 410 when a guy in a BMW raced up beside me and gave the thumbs up about 5 times.

I had the same thing happen to me two days ago on the way home from work. A guy in a Mini Cooper pulled up next to me, started blowing his horn and gave me the biggest thumbs up ever! This car definitely draws a lot of attention everywhere you go.

Same here. At least a dozen times in every outing.

I'm in Aurora, Ontario. Great roads for driving around here...

I notice a lot more attention in this car compared to the M6 vert I used to have.
