For me it was a female coworker complimenting my Q50 Redsport. Interned at a 3 letter fed agency last summer and one of the other interns who I became friendly with was a mid 20’s former sorority girl - someone you’d never expect to be a car enthusiast. Gave her a ride after work one day since her car was in the shop and immediately after walking up to my car in the garage, started complimenting it. Talked about the VR30TT engine and asked me if the turbos were giving me any trouble, then talked a little shit about how it’s still slower than her car. I asked her what she drove and she had an M2 lol
I came home from work one day last summer to find a handwritten note tucked under one of the wipers on my Miata. It was a pretty standard “call me if you’re interested in selling” note. Looked up the person who left the note, it’s one of those like paid-to-be-hot IG/Tik-Tok girls. Absolutely last demographic I ever expected to give a shit about an NA Miata (or live in a sleepy rural lake town in the middle of nowhere, for that matter)
