 They just jealous girlfriend!  Sport your bling bling.

On a more serious note, who cares what they think.  I mean really.

When I've learned everything about people I will stop being surprised and then I will stop caring. ;) I'm slowly getting cured from being naive. 

You should put on your best suit and hand out cigars to everyone.  Then talk about your portfolio.

 You could have subconsciously been handling yourself differently also. There's nothing wrong or odd about that, being in a new (new to you) car is really no different outwardly than getting your hair cut or having on a new outfit. I'm sure people admired the vehicle as well but it's possible that they were also admiring you and your boost of self confidence that you didn't realize you were exuding.

I'm pretty sure I didn't. Not the type to strut my stuff. I think to do it I would have to make it a conscious choice, way too busy with things I think are of importance.

I'd rather have my brain sliced up post mortem and have people go "ahh" and ohh" over it. ;)) 

 I don't think having a cool car makes one worthy of respect. I know too many lame individuals with cool cars for that.

I know, right? It's so stupid. 

 Using the word sheeple? Are you a basement dweller?
