I used to get more a few years ago when the shape was newer. Often at petrol stations the attendants would comment on what a great looking car.
The best I had was at a random breath test one night. Here is Aus we have what are called booze buses. They block the entire road and divert all traffic via the police check point and take alcohol breath readings. Anyway I was waved up by a good looking young blonde lady officer. I wind down the window and she says please blow into the meter for 5 seconds. I finish she reads and and says all clear and by the way that is a fabulous looking car.

Attendants at a gas station? How 1950's.

Even without many mods, i constantly get looks at the gas station or at lunch when i hit up Subway or something (I always park where I can see my car, she's great to look at). Yesteday at the gas station, I caught an older man in a new cadillac staring and when he saw me catch him he smiled and just said "Beautiful!" My car is Orient Blue and I try and keep her clean since the dirt shows. I cant wait to get my body kit, diffuser, splitters, vorsteiner spoiler, etc on her.
The best for me is...I volunteer with the teens at my church and they line up for rides as if she's a roller coaster at Magic Mountain. They are so in awe and I think that's pretty cool...I have to keep telling them "No, you cant drive her."

My personal favorite was from an older guy at the BMW dealership, he asked "How do you keep tires on that thing??" He looked like the type who has been a lifelong gearhead like myself, so it was also a little insight into my future!

"Are those Bugle Boy jeans your wearing?" - I remember those commercials for Bugle Boy jeans...
