I like that one too!

Living in a downtown metro area you get all sorts of different reactions. Some very nice and some down right rude.

Once a waitress working at a restaurant, ran outside the restaurant and yelled "I love your car!" I thought that was nice.

I will say I have stopped driving it to the hardware store. Everytime I came out, I would find someone pawing on it. One guy was halfway in the window going for the pedals I assumed, as he told me he needed pedals like I have. . Talking to one admirer, I had mentioned something that I need to fix, he said he had noticed that. Well the only way you would know that is if you had been in the car. That is only the guys that I had caught, hard to say how many people have sat in the car when I wasn't looking.

Always polite, but have a few instances were dishing it back would have been justified.
