I never really thought people noticed my benz or would think much of it because it is old and even has a little rust. Although I haven't heard major comments such as those of the OP, people do make comments like "is that YOUR car?" or "What's up with that car?" "what year is that Mercedes?" etc... which shows me they do notice and think about it.

I personally couldn't care less and try not to have pride over my possessions, but it is a little weird to discover that people have that much of an impression based on my car, or that they have even noticed what car I drive.
