Default I want one

Stuck in construction traffic today on I-285 in Atlanta and this
boy, maybe 8 or 9 in a dodge minivan makes a sign and holds it up to the window. It says, I WANT ONE. Makes one have faith in the
new generation coming along. Gave him a big thumbs up.

I get the most compliments from kids as well when I am stopped at a light. Those compliments are the best ones in my opinion.

I was coming up on a red light yesterday and two kids teenagers stop and started to video me as I passed them. I had to smile.

Do you think they're smart enough to know it's just a Chevy?

Sorry, couldn't resist...

Cool story! Hopefully the kid new it was a Corvette. I heard a grown man once say "nice Ferrari" as he was pointing to a Corvette.

That's awesome, glad kids haven't all been watered down to the point that they are all trying to drive around in a Prius.

When you're driving past some kids and they stop and yell "NICE CAR!". Love it.

A Buick Firebird sounds as blasphemous as a 4-door Charger.

That's awesome. Anytime someone young takes notice, if possible I give a show. I can't help but think of the time a NSX owner did a show for me that forever imprinted in my head.
