Best Comments on Your Ride
I was renting movies at the local video store. I was getting back in the car and a 5 or 6 year old kid says "Hey mister, nice car!” This kid doesn't know C3s from C-130s but knows what looks good. I say "Thanks, I appreciate that." Then he says "And my dad likes it, too." 
Today I'm waxing the car at the car wash and a lady pulls up next to my bay in a white C5. She looks rich and very friendly. We chat and I drive away. She says "beautiful car." WTF it cost me about 15% of what hers does!
I'm driving back to work in my freshly waxed Vette and a car load of chicks honk and wave. Somebody pinch me!
Any similar experiences?

Last summer i was seeing a friend, we were standing outside shooting the breeze when this 5-6 year kid comes by on his little bike. Seeing the car he slams his brake and comes to a screaming stop, WOW is that a stingray? 
Sweet! he says and pedal off

I once had someone ask me if mine was the "new" vette. It's not easy making someone think your 35 year old car is a new model they've never seen, especially on my limited budget.

We had some friends over and their 10 year old son found out I had a Vette in the garage, so I took him out to see it.

My dad when I drove the car into the driveway for the first time:
"Oh ****** That had better not be yours"
After he found it it was mine:
"Youre a ****** idiot you know that kid? Youre damn well not parking it here either!"

Best comment I ever got was from a Highway Patrol Man who stopped me for going 140 mph out on one of nearly empty Nevada freeways just before the sun came up. You know your had when your the only two cars on the road and your catching up with some vehicle and about the time you can just make out that it has a light bar on top that the blue lights start flashing.
He ask me if my Vette was street legal as I was unbuckling my 5 point harness and removing my Simson neck brace? I said, "why sure it's got license plates."

I get the standard little kids saying "cool car" a lot, not as much attention from the ladies as i would hope, except for one who told me she wanted to have sex with me on the hood, DAMN FIBERGLASS CARS, she says she wants to do that and the first thought that comes to my mind is spider cracks
