Not sure how to react
Just went up to the "Stop and Go" to get a bag of ice and 2 guys in there twenties pull up as I'm getting into my C7 and look at me and say "That's F***ing Sexy. I was not sure how to react.

They paid you a complement. To bad their language wasn't more refined. I never use swear words anymore. It was hard to clean up my vocabulary, I managed with an occasional slip when upset, getting better. Shameful to what our society has become.

My pet peeve is using "like" as the beginning of every thought in a sentence. Seems to be very common with "like" the younger generation.I apologize in advance for those younger folks who are very articulate.

2020 C8 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
I'm standing in one of those 2 hour lines to get on a 30 second ride. Behind us are 4 teenagers who's every other word was "F" and "S" and "MF".
Honestly, there's no place for this. After about 10 minutes of this nonsense, about 20 parents told them to hold their traps.
There are limits. People need to know.
If someone tells me about my C7 in public with those words, I'm not going to smile back.

Well I was joking but I remember once just a few years ago... I was taking my GF at the time and her 8 year old daughter to Disneyland. Standing around us are probably 100 kids all about 5.

Unfortunately that is the way kids and most adults choose to speak these days.
Enjoy the compliment and move on.

Some think everything is a compliment - they're delusional, IMO. Why don't they invite the cursing punks home with them?!
The fact of the matter is that a Stop N Go is a free-fire zone, and should be treated as such.
Thusly, if you have a side arm at the ready, it wouldn't be a bad idea - but then again I wouldn't be stopping at a Stop N Go in the first place, unless at the gas pumps.
These are very snazzy, very pricey cars, and a quick car jack wouldn't be far from my mind.
It's not all puppies and kittens out there as some that may live and travel in sheltered areas seem to think. It's a jungle with a car like a C7.

Flash your gold chains at them so they know that you are for real in the Corvette world. And learn how to lighten up or next time take the truck and get your ice at Walmart.

Don't forget to throw up the proper gang signs out of your window while leaving the area. You also need to be playing "Hit Em Up" by Tupac at a volume that is high enough to break the three 18" Pioneer subwoofers that you just put in your trunk.
