When I first got my GN a few years ago.. I couldn't take the misses out for an ice cream or drive to get a movie without someone wanting to get schooled by me... now... all I get is points, thumbs up, asking for for my best waterbox impersionation, or nods, everyone backs out, never pulls up, just clears the way... sort of nice in a way if you think about it.
I think that the younger kids driving the rice rockets, or mommy/daddy bought stangs and F-bodies, all now know what a GNor t-type is. At least they know more so then they did in years past. I attribute it to the Fast and Furious 3 opening scene with the GN in it last summer... people who didn't know what it was, asked, googled, you-tube, then got schooled on the net and then probably in person a few times and now just respect it.
