Should I be happy or sad?
Stopped for gas on the way to work (6:30ish) a guy pulls up to the other island, walks by and says, Nice Ride. I felt pretty good about it until I saw the guy buy a Bud Tallboy for breakfast. then I felt wierd since the compliment came from a loser who opens a beer for breakfast

Back home when I am in the states I work the night shift. And I stand in my driveway in the morning and drink me a cold Bud light and laugh at my neighbors that go by. I can just imagine what they think I do for a living. :cheers: :cheers:

i honestly don't get that many compliments on my car. i mostly get looks like "yeah, you think you're cool." i did get a compliment today though. this woman goes, "nice car, i have an '89." just goes to show you that people who are happy with their own rides will compliment yours.

Got a "nice ride" from a couple of homeless types downtown the other day. I gave 'em a big grin and a thumbs up. Just makes you grateful to be in your own shoes.

Feel good about any compliment - unless it's sarcastic.
Also feel good that the guy hadn't just cracked a bottle of JD - and was then
close behind you in his old rusty pickup. :lol: :lol:
