My son points it out a lot. He says, daddy, that person pointed at your car. He'* only 6, and he'* got the car bug. When I give a little gas, he says, supercharged.

I had this guy look at me and say, That'* supercharged? And I'm like yeah. He'* like, Ok. And he pulls away in his OLDS 88. No joke.
Shoulds told him to upgrade to LSS.

There are so many Bonnes around here that most poeple see another granny car and don't think twice.

Since I tinted, put on shiney rims and exhaust tips..I get more attention. There'* just so many B'ville that no one pays attention until they hear something odd trying to come out from under the hood.

I haven't noticed if people are actually staring at the badge, I'm sure it happens though. But in my neighborhood my car in general gets a lot of stares, especially on my own street. I got the same attention with my last Bonneville, but that was more flashy, and had some pretty attention-grabbing license plates. lol
