Default Apparently I'm a Show-Off

The g/f and I were on our way to the tennis courts and the weather was so nice that I took the vette's top off. I come to a stop at a red light and hear someone say, "Show off!" I look over to my right and see an older gentleman shaking his head and laughing. He said he was just kidding and the car was really nice.

Never received a compliment that way before.

Your g/f missed her cue. She was supposed to FLASH the fossil.

I also was driving last summer with the top off. My wife was sitting next to me and was stopped at the light. The guy next to me in the passenger seat look over and said NICE. I looked at him and asked are you talking about my wife? My wife and I still crack up about it.

Great move Joe. That was the smartest thing you could have said.

Hello fellow show off! I constantly get thumbs up and one day I drove by this teenager who stopped walking in his tracks, then turned around in a semicircle while saying "WOW" looking at me driving by, I could read his lips saying it. This car is better for my psyche than any kind of therapy!!!

I'm one of those OLD FOSSILS and you could cause a heart attack by her flashing him. But what the heck, we'll take our chances.

I've received all kinds of compliments with 6 Vettes over a 38 year period.
You will get used to it.
