Pulled up to a stop light Saturday with my windows down. I'm about two feet short of being nose to nose with a Ford SUv. The passenger, slumping in his seat not looking "all there" rolls the window down, has his head hanging out looking back blankly...
As I expect to see a line of drool extending toward the pavement, he articulately states in a muted voice "THAT's a very nice car!"
Here, I thought he was drunk and he was just awestruck.

Do any of you find your car gets confused for another brand often (I'm guessing mostly by non-car people)?
I just got my F-Type and the very first reaction as I'm driving thru downtown is a woman looking admiringly at the car and turning to her male companion and saying "What is that?" at which point he looks the car up and down, looks thoughtful for a moment, and yells out "Nice Maserati man!!"

My yard guy thought it was a Maserati because his brother has two. I parked next to a Maserati convertible last week and had to look twice before I realized it wasn't a Jag...

Recent reactions have me thinking about the line I heard from a friend when I got it that "that car is going to cause an accident". Well now I know what he means. On Saturday on my way to cars and coffee was traveling on the highway in the right lane. A beat up Saturn struggling to pull along side. I slowed down a little bit to give them a chance (just the kind of guy I am). Both driver and passenger gawking and smiling. Well that continues for a few hundred feet till the Saturn veers off the road to the left. He saved it just in time from a drainage ditch culvert. He ended up back on the highway and settled in behind me and gave a sheepish waive. I waived back and punched the gas.

Was getting out of my car after parking at the rear of a parking lot with no other cars around to go to breakfast. As I started walking away, a young couple was walking from the restaurant to their car.
The young gal pulled out her mobile phone to take a picture rather sheepishly. Then, she said, "my nephew loves cars and he will drool over this one". I told her to feel free to go over and take as many pictures as she likes. I just smiled and kept on walking toward breakfast...

I had multiple pics being taken as I drove on Rodeo. However, the funniest reaction is when I was at a red light (on Rodeo) and a white Huracan pulled up beside me. An older Asian woman was at the corner looking at us, then bent down, and immediately dropped her arm (as in waving a green flag) when the light turned green. It was a rather fun drive after that.

So finally I decided to pull the trigger on a 15 F type R. I was on a test drive for an audi r8 and a black F type R flew by us like we were standing still. Not to mention the exhaust sounded like a wild animal. Instantly my test drive was over and straight to the Jaguar Dealer. I couldn't stop myself from buying this beautiful 2015 silver F type R.
First thing I noticed about this car is that I will be getting into trouble with it. I have never wanted to just listen to the exhaust for the whole trip.
I soon noticed everyone with fast cars wanted to race on freeway. Revving their engines at me and gesturing to race. I guess for some reason all these people want a piece of the F type R. I had to race at least a few but after scaring myself and thinking about the high speeding tickets I decided to stop while I was ahead.
What have I done? Every time I drive this car it will be a mental battle The devil and angel on my shoulder. " Devil says" : Stuff your foot deep to the floor and burn those tires. " Angel says " Just drive slow and cruise you don't want a speeding ticket. Im sure many of you feel the same way. Cheers Jaguars got some serious *****.

Driving home from the dealership (literally never parked the car in my garage) at exactly the speed limit. Pulled over by state police.
"You know you don't have a front license plate."
"I've got a custom bracket at home, but I haven't even gotten there yet!"
"This is such a cool car. I pull over bentleys and porsches all the time."
"...." (cop walks around the car)
"You can go. Have a nice day."
