Interesting Things People Have Said/Done Because of Your Car?

What have people said/done because of your SLS that was unusual or interesting?

For me:

- In a parking lot one guy jumped out of a moving vehicle to run across to where I was coming in so he could see the car.

- I've been driving mine for less than a year, but on four occasions a guy has come up to me and asked, "What do you do?". They are sort of asking it so they can do consider doing it, too.

- One afternoon in a beach town a boyfriend and girlfriend stopped to look at the car. The 25 year old beach blonde said, in all seriousness, "I want to be your driver". If they hadn't been drinking in the middle of the afternoon I might have taken her up on the offer.

I'd be interested in hearing other stories... and your reactions/responses to what people have said/done.

While not an SLS, my C63 Black Series gets a lot of attention. I love parking my car and grabbing something to eat within eye shot. Its wild watching the reactions people have while walking by. I wish I had a mic to hear what their saying. Lots of photos
