What are the funniest or strangest comments/interactions you've experienced with your Stalker?
Yesterday, I'm driving in a pretty nice residential neighborhood. I pull into a left turn lane with a black Lexus SUV behind me, and the light is red. The driver gets out of his car, runs up next to my side of the car, and starts jumping up and down telling me that he has a Caterham and wanted to know what my car was. "Is it a Birkin??!" I laughed and told him it's a Stalker, then the light turned green, and I turned. He ran back to his SUV and made a u-turn.
Also yesterday, on the freeway, a Chevy Cruz came up on my left side, then paces me. I look over, and I see a child's face plastered up against the window with his eyes wide open. I gave a little wave and a little throttle - I thought he was going to lose his mind he was so excited.
The amount of thumbs up I've received ever since getting the car painted is kind of astounding. It's interesting the reaction people have to this car vs the Elise I drove a few years ago. The Stalker is simply pure joy on wheels (both for the observers & the driver).

i was driving down the highway when the passenger leaned fully out of the window to take a picture, then the driver did the same.. I backed off of them after that.

One of my favorites was a car pulling up on my right side and the driver was staring over at the car when he suddenly ran into the car in front.
Being I live in Florida I often get "you race dat thing on dirt"
And one time got "is that some sorta pimped out dunebuggy"

My 5 year made me laugh yesterday with this exchange. Let me set the scene: He & I are making a quick trip to the gas station to fill up. Earlier in the day, we had been to a little local fair/pumpkin patch thing, and his face was painted to resemble a Spiderman mask. And, he's wearing my wife's driving goggles, which are ridiculously oversized for his little face. It was a sight.
As we're driving around, I realize that he's watching other people in cars & on foot who are looking at us, and our conversation goes like this:
He said, with a giant grin, "Wow, Daddy, people sure do love the Stalker!"
I said, "Yep, it does bring happiness to the people"
He said, "Yep, it also brings happiness to me!"
Too cute.

Like most of us, i get cornered at the gas station every time. The questions and comments run together so much, that I couldn't remember if the pimped out dunebuggy question was mine or not. But its' so much of a classic, I repeat that as an example of hilarious remarks I get.
That easily beats the question I got minutes after I took delivery on my NSX (1994). A kid asked me if that was the new Camaro.
