Default 3 Days, 3 Complements

Well over the past 3 days I have gotten 3 different complements on my car. The first guy was in a Yellow Ferrari 348 ( I Think) It was fairly new. We got on it for a little while and we ended up being next to each other at a draw bridge. He rolls his window down, (I'm waiting for some smart comment so I can say something back), but he says that my car looks good. I say thanks and we talk for a bit. Really cool guy. Second was yesterday at a red light, some woman asks what year it is, when I told her it is a 1994, she said that it looks great. I say Thank you and we go about our ways. Last was tonight at the gas station. Some man says "cool ride you got there." I again say thank you and go about my way. It must be a full moon or something going on. I have never gotten more than a complement every other week. :)

I was out detailing the suspension yesterday on mine when a guy pulls up in front of my next door neighbors house. He gets out and walks over to me and spends a good couple min telling me what a gorgeous ride I have. I could see it in his eyes that it was coming from the heart too. Yeah, that sorta made me feel all warm and tingly for a while :yesnod: Cool isnt it? :blueangel:

I get a lot of compliments for my car, but I’d bet I get twice as much for my truck.

It’s a beast ;)

I love the bit about the guy in the ferrari. :cheers:

Strangely enough, I've received like 10x more complements for my license plate than the car. :lol:
