Coolest compliment I have recieved
My girlfriend and I had just left mass yesterday and were sitting in our vette. We were waiting for the other parishioners to get in their vehicles in front of mine and clear out. I see a young lady assisting an elderly lady to a dodge caravan. as they came around the passenger side of the van the elderly lady stops in her tracks. She looks up, at the T/R FRC, Takes a deep breath and exclaims, "Oh my, What a lovely car!", then she continues, " you certainly can't hide that car anywhere now can you?"
She had to be every Bit of 85 y/o. I had no Idea that someone of that age would take notice like that. Not saying that as we get old we loose our senses, just that things like a car would loose there interest. You can rest assured though, this lady has made it to my prayer list
