You gotta read this.
Coming home from work. Beautiful day, didn't have the top down but I did have the windows down. Pulled up to a traffic light and this hispanic fellow pulls up next to me and holler across...."Would you like to trade". I took a look at his blue Chevy S-10 (pretty nice) and said " I don't think so I just sold my truck". He says back, "no not the truck, my wife" as he points to the lady setting next to him. She is smiling from ear to ear. The truck BTW was listing to the right. He said she had always wanted a vette since a little girl. We all had a laugh, even his wife. The light changed to green.

I had a similar thing happend to me a few months ago. I was in Virginia on I95 when a guy in a pick up truck (why are they always in pick up trucks?) honked at me and mouthed the words "How about a trade?" while at the same time pointing at my Vette and his wife/girlfriend.
I waved in a friendly gesture "No thanks".
It seemed from the look on the girl face, she looked more disappointed than he was.

Funny story. She may have been smiling then, but wonder if she kept that up after you left. Hope she had a good sense of humor.
