I get a mixed bag of reactions. So far I've had quite a few strangers compliment me on the car. It's always very nice and refreshing to see that there are still good car people around.

Most people don't realize that it's just a car. The stereotypes are very hard to overcome. My friends and family didn't flinch when I bought it and were very supportive and complimentary. Though, I've noticed at the workplace an increased sense of resentment among co-workers. I can definitely look at prior to buying the CS and now and notice a big difference in how I'm treated at work. It's unfortunate. I like the vast majority of my co-workers and it's unfortunate that some of them treat me noticeably different.
