Default Made my day...
I was driving home earlier and was almost there when a school bus pulls out in front of me. Hooray. As I close on the bus and have to slow down, I'm thinking I'll be just lucky ehough to be behind ten stops from here to my house. As I look up at the back windows of the bus, a couple of kids (these are probably 4th or 5th graders) turn around. One kid gives me the peace sign, and now more and more faces are appearing in the window. Now I'm getting thumbs up and waves from them (and giving them back) - permagrin restored. As the bus turned off, I gave them a roar to remember me by. I love this car.
