I have become acustomed to rubber necking, etc and don't even notice it much anymore. I still get a couple of questions a week when I am out and about.

Yes, lots of rubber-necking, and lots of on-the-fly 10-to-20 minute conversations.
Had an older couple in a sweet-a$$ Corvette follow me into the Advanced Auto Parts parking lot last Saturday morning. Was off to do some quick tool-bag shopping while my boys were at karate, and then planned on getting some Dunkin'. When I came out of the store they were hovering around Lil'Red, taking pictures with their phone while they were talking to someone on said-phone (found out it was their son, in college). Never did make it to Dunkin' and barely made it back to the dojo in time for class to end after talking with them for almost 40 minutes, LOL
Sunday, on the way to a family reunion at my in-laws' a couple about the same age as us pulled up in an older Cherokee. The guy driving and myself talked about 10 minutes before the wives made us stop and move along.
Then that same day, while at the family reunion, me and all the brother-in-laws and cousins sat around checking out all the nooks and crannys of Lil'Red.
A lot of people have no clue Jeep even introduced it. The older couple in the 'vette referred to it as "the greatest little secret of 2015". Which only goes to show, the commercials FCA has been putting out for the Renegade are less-than-sub-par Jeep commercials. They should be showing off the drive-ability and off-road-capability of these awesome little beasts. Not wasting money on showing college-aged kids or rock-bands (nothing against college-aged kids or rock-bands, mind you)

my wife hated it at first in pictures....but when went to pick it up...said it actually looks pretty good.
maybe a bit disappointing as figured with her hating it, she would never want to drive
Had one guy in a Wrangler ask me about it at local hardware store....he liked it.
People at work like it.

LOL Thats a good analogy.
And yes.. the attention sometimes makes me a bit uncomfortable. Im not used to it. My old car blended in with everyone else.
