Default Where is the Respect?!

Today I took my R out for a wash and spin since it's been raining for a while. And I noticed I get many stares from people, and the not kind of stares that are like 'damn you have a cool car', but more like 'WTF are you'. What happened to reign of the R? No looks at the car with respect, let alone give it a second glance like before.

Were's the love?

Who cares? Drive it like you stole it! It's kind of hard to respect a R these days with all the competition.

Well, I remeber getting thumbs up and stuff, but I don't need a car to get respect that's just sad. I just remember when people were not to quick to rev at me or just look at me like I'm driving dirt. I still get many glances from the ladies, I guess black cars are hot.

All I know is 15 years down the road people will know whats up.

People had mixed responses to me driving an R as well. I took the decals off to ward off any attention from anyone who doesn't know that it's an R.

No to disrespect but, to some people this "car" means alot. I know it's just a piece of metal and all, but some of us look at this car a little more than that I guess. Hell I've never even driven mine, but for all the **** this world puts me through everyday, I know that my Integra will make me feel a thousand times better. You all can say that there's more to life and cars are expendable, true, but I know my life is just that much better owning this car. I'm sorry that your R doesnt make you feel the same way....

to the R

The point is, just because you or I give it respect doesn't mean everybody else has too.
