Isn't life too short to be so concerned with the language used by complete strangers?

When someone compliments my vette I say the same thing everytime, yeah, this car's a lot of fun, and I move on.

or, following steve r's lead above, if you wanted to sound like you actually spoke spanish, you would say no hablo , since hablo is the first person singlar form of the verb hablar. your welcome.

NV, if some of us were to use that language, we would be banned for a week from the forum. hopefully your luck is better.

It's a jungle with a car like a C7.

Wow, paranoia runs deep. Maybe the OP should have just opened fire.

Lol! Got the exact same reaction from a guy in his 20's hanging out the window at a stop light. All I could say was thanks. I hope he was talking about the car though and not me!

I would probably respond with "F*** ya it is! High Five!!" And then stick out my hand.

Ok, no I wouldn't. More than likely I would say something in agreement, like "Thanks, I thought so too."

Before you provide Spanish vocabulary lessons to anyone, you might want to discover the difference in English between "your" and "you're".

I am with CM. "GM did a great job". It's hard for me to say thanks like I am responsible for the looks of the car. I didn't restore, build or design it. I was just blessed enough to be able to buy it.
Just saying.

I wish I could build a time machine, enter it and set it for just a few seconds before I clicked on this thread then I could adequately warn myself. Seriously. I would stare at myself and give a proper warning. After the initial startled shock I would like to believe I would listen to myself and give a head nod and firm handshake as confirmation of my compliance. Then my future self would get back into the time machine and move on.

The only downside is that about 10 seconds after my encounter my present self would suddenly yell out:

WHAT ARE THE F

KING LOTTERY NUMBERS DUMBA$$???!!!!
