Default Isnt it sweet when your car gets compliments

Well this happened awhile ago, I was driving and I pulled up to a red light. This guy in a corvette pulls up next to me and asks what I have done to the car and proceeds to say how bad *** it is. Nothing like getting complimented by a vette owner. Then the other day, I'm driving home and as I pull up to a stop sign, there is an older guy in a GT next to me. He starts saying how much he loves my rims and this and that. The same day I'm leaving Best Buy and a guy in a SN95 stops me and says he loves the deep dish in the back and this and that. Then he tells me thats what he is looking to do, except he wants 20s. Then I drove off and laughed, but its nice to hear people compliment the car.

ha ha ha....I think heads turn cause most people are wondering WTF is coming out of the hood. ha ha ha.

I don't have any plans to check out the good guys show, but I have an office on the fairgrounds so when the cars start showing up friday I'll probably be more into it. Are you going?

jack - I've never seen anyone snapping any pics, but that would be cool. I hope it was a hot girls *** that was sitting on your car. I should take my car over to Hooters next time they have some function and get pics of the car with a bunch of Hooters girls all over it. That would be sweet, but it is cool getting the compliments.

jjtgiants - I might cruise by downtown or something on friday night or saturday. not sure yet. I usually get bored with that stuff. Most of the day saturday I'll probably be ripping out and installing my stereo stuff.

Have you ever found somone getting thier pic with yer car? I saw that happen once when i was leaving homedepot, saw some guy standing next to my car getting his pic snapped.
That was the FBI looking for the evidence of a dead hooker....not someone that liked that slow thing you call a mustang. ha ha ha.

00blkst....let me know if you go and maybe I'll cruise over to the show. I really like muscle cars and newer style stangs ect....and sometimes the good guys show doesn't have much of that....plus all of the parts and stuff they sell at the swap meet are for old azz cars.

I love when i get compliments on my car sometimes at the gas station some people come up and say "nice stang" if the windows are down they'll look inside to see if its stick or not lol, also on the highway people will look over and give me thumbs up and say they love how loud it is..

Oh hell yea it's awesome when you get someone telling you your car is bad ***.I think I get at least one compliment a day if I'm out and about doing errands or cruising.I had another guy in a Cobra follow me home the other day and ask me what all I had done to mine and how much he liked it.

What I like is watching people look as you drive by and just give them a little smile and a wave

Heck, I even get compliments on my 87. Granted, i keep it clean and I think it looks pretty good w/the fat-skinnies. First compliment I ever got i was quite shocked.

Thats because your car is looking pretty badass. It's a very clean 87. It's just cool when other people notice your car and either say something or give you a thumbs up. For me it kinda justifies the money I put into the car.
