I had a woman roll down her window at a light yesterday and ask me if I couldn't get a nicer car I said nope. Just drove away happy.

I don't get that kind of reaction either - but then again if I did, I wouldn't notice. I don't much give a d@nm what everyone else thinks or says. Just enjoy the ride and car and screw 'em if they don't like it.

I was sitting in my Vette parked in a lot waiting for my boy to finish his guitar lesson, a lady parked next to me looks at the car, looks at it again, she beeps her horn and says "you know, that's really a beautiful car".

Other than that, I usually get "wanna race?"

So many people don't realize how affordable a Vette can be. How many people spend $20k and up for a new car? I was driving around with the top off yesterday. My phone rings, it's an old girlfriend who asks "who's vette did I just see you driving?" I answered "mine." Then she said "I can see you're doing well!" All I could do was laugh.
