Dam Women, Most never understand the bond of a man and his car.

The other day I got, " Hey man, nice car.... Hey I'm a little low on cash and I need money to get on the bus to get across town. Can you spare any change?"
I also got, " Is that YOUR car?" I was like, " No, I just drive other people's cars around for a living..."
One time, there was a guy standing in the front of my car smoking when I was getting in my car and he said, "Hey nice 530i" It felt good cuz that means he had to have walked around the car to know it was a 530i. He was an employee of the store, so Im guessing he didn't walk up from the back.
A few months before I got my car I used to be that guy who envied the people driving 5 series and would stare at them driving by. Now I know what its like to be on the other side.

NICKE60GR I was in Athens just last week and saw just one silver E60 taxi, amongst many yellow E-Classes, Skodas, Toyotas and Opel Vectra taxis.
I used to have an E90 and I do notice I get much more attention driving the E60, however I have not received any compliments nor criticism since I have had mine.

Most of them are from another, maybe neighbour province visiting Athens, as Athens has only yellow Taxis, but never saw a yellow E60
Greetings from Greece!!!

I was approached by a guy at the gas station. He was staring at the front of my car and said to me:
-Wooah, I really love those eyes and grin! I whish I could afford one myself. It's still a dream to have one. Take good care of "her"!
We were all alone outside the station and my mrs wasnt in the car...So it took a while for me to figure out what he was talking about

"Is that your car?"
"What do you do for a living?"
"How much did you paid for it?"
"How many horses do you have there?"
"You got a V8 under the hood? You can pull my SUV with that engine"
From my boss: "I think I should quit my job and work for you"
From our purchaser: "I love your car" (she told me this a few times, everytime I see her)
"Are you a son of a rich politician?"
"GORGEOUS CAR!!!"
"What a beautiful car you got here"
"Very nice car you have here"
