When I first got it, the first question was, "How fast have you gone with it?"
The one I got the most from people at work (or even those that I don't know) say, "Jeez, it must be nice to get a car like this!" I reply, "I've been working for 39 years at the same place, my wife 28 years, we have one grown child, my wife and I have been saving for a car for a long time and we know how to manage our money!" To that they say, "Oh."

I get that a lot too... And the fastest was 115-120 when I first picked up the car... (Not street racing or anything) I just had no idea, driving from Austin to Dallas at night and I wasn't used to the speedo being sooooo tiny, and as I was driving I was like damn this thing makes a lot of road noise... Looked down... Uh, OHHHHHH, THAT'S the problem, lol
And I slowed down

EDIT: not the fastest I've gone, lol, I was on CC with my 2001 Toyota Avalon at 123, lol
