Just say, "not today. But, this weekend I'll be using the Vette to pull the boat up the lake. Should be a great trip."

No, I can honestly say that has never been asked of me. Then again I live in Florida plus I have been retired now for 5 years.

I work from home so I don't get that normally. However, when I travel for work, people do ask if I brought the Vette. I think they know there is always a chance we could take it to lunch and brighten up an otherwised hum drum day.

Dumb comments from coworkers (and even mgt) at a previous job is the reason why I choose not to share vette ownership status with anyone at work.
