But I get a chuckle out of that doofus on 'Counting Cars' who's always trying to get somebody to pull over so he can try to buy their car.

yeah that would probably annoy me and I would just take off and leave him... Danny does seem like a cool and nice guy though, I like the show

I get it more often in my c5. then my mk4 Supra. I cant park my vette anywhere, without someone parking RIGHT next to it. And I park wayyy out in parking lots. I try to laugh and blow it off, instead of cussing all the way to the car.

And for some reason, I get the most comments from ghetto black guys, at gas stations. Its common to hear from across the parking lot...."Ooooh, dat mufu@#er is cleeeen!" lol

My brother and I were at Road America watching a race from the stands.
He has a sweet C5Z torch red and I had my C3 Coupe red. He said look at your car, which was parked on the grass behind us. There were 7 guys all around my C3 and not one by his C5Z. We had a good laugh.

I have had a few people talk to me about my car too, but I only remember one that went out of their way.

When I started a new job in a different city, I was commuting in the Corvette. When I got off work on my second day there, a local city police car followed me from the company parking lot all the way through town until I got on the Interstate for the drive home. He repeated that every night for 5 or 6 nights and once in a while later. I still don't know if he liked the car, or he was just waiting for me to do something stupid. That was the only time I know of that someone really went out of their way to look at my car.
