Cool thing happened today

Was walking to my car after work and there was a man standing at the front of my Vette. When I got closer he looked at me and asked what year the car was. I told him 04 and he said you must put alot of work into it. I told him "just a little". He then looked at the hood, smiled and said "you just got it repainted didn't you"? I said nope. He just shook his head and said "Damn". Guess the Rejex does work!

Gave me that "pre-smile", you know the one ya get when you hear the door unlock and you just know whats comming next!

That's the same feeling I've gotten a few times when leaving work. As I approach the car and hit the button, people near the car realize it's mine. They usually say something like: damn that's your car, that thing is cool, I was wondering whose that was, you drive that everyday, etc...

I never really thought about it much until after I got that reaction a few times, but it does make you feel good.

Always nice when someone gives you a compliment on your car.

I get the same thing sometimes, except when I tell them it's a 98, they don't believe it's my car because I don't even know what year it is.....He He!
