It's a total d!ck magnet.

We get followed (literally) everywhere.

People come up, "Is that your GTR?!" after they watch us get out of the car after we pulled up. No, *******, we stole it and took it on a joy ride, now we're getting a bite to eat.

Some guy was standing taking pictures of every angle, once we got out there he was SOOOO excited that he got to meet the owner. Spent another 20min asking questions (my buddy hates this; hates answering the same questions a thousand times) and the guy wanted him to pop the hood, etc.




Hate to break it to your buddy but that comes with owning the car, especially something on the more unique side. A porsche will get looks, but unless it is an upper end one most will ignore it. Throw in a GT-R and people will want to know about it, since they rarely see them.

Completely untrue. It just gets annoying, especially having people follow you around town.

While true, and he understands that, but it's a bit much (and they're not really that rare), it's just annoying being swarmed by people - Go look on the ******* internet if you want pictures or stats of the ******* car, don't waste our time, or go to the weekly car show and look at the 4-5 GTRs that are there.
