gauge it by the smiles you get from the opposite sex. that's all that matters.

Is still get a few stares and a rare "what kind of car is that?". But what kills me is that before I bought mine, I would rarely see one around town. The day after I purchased, they are all over the place.

Up here in NJ.
I have a white one MP5 ..
I drive into Manhattan from time to time .
Well one day, I was at a parking garage, in NYC they usually keep you for a minute, to check your trunk and a general walk around. Well 5 minutes latter, 3 guys latter too . I Get that is a sweet car.
LOL I said is this reason for all this time? They said “yea thanks”, then brought me to an area that the doctor park only hehehe.
My MP5 was with the BMW Lexis, Jags Porc. In all that there was my MP5 going to the big cats
antdrop:
A doctor later checked out the Car and he liked it too.
Funny. Well my wife loves it. I even got a hummer in there by her, Wow the last time that happin was 10 years ago when we were dating,,,,,

Yep, I get that all the time.....there are only a few others here, a total of 7 in town...and I own two of them.....its a real head turner....and there is always smiles attached to the faces....

I recently drove one of ours on vacation.....4800 miles....6 days on the road over a two and a half week period....the entire time we only saw 11 other P-5's.....and that was from Texas to upstate New York, over to New Hampshire and then back to Texas. We got plenty of looks up there too.....especially from the other P-5 owners we ran across....it was like they couldn't believe they were seeing another one too. lol

I seem to get a lot of comments on my car... The more stuff I add to more notice I get. The only thing being most of the comments come from little punks... Ah well a compliment's a compliment I guess...
