Default I think I got the best compliment ever today...

I was at my local shopping center picking up the dry cleaning. I left my car running, while I walked around the corner to check out a car with a "for sale" sign in the window. Anyway, when I came back, I found someone walking around the car oggling it. As I stepped up to the driver's door, and he realized it was my car, this 10 year old kid said "That's a fine piece of machinery you have there!". My jaw almost dropped...it's not too often you run into a 10 year old that know the difference between an S4 and an Accord.

100 feet from home, an S60 Volvo going in the other direction STOPPED so he could look at my car. He craned his neck around 180 degrees, and tracked my car, until he could no longer see it! :-D

Default Yeah, I know what you mean.

Kids now a days know more than adults. It's a shame there aren't more 30ish women that know the difference, huh? :-)

Default I hear this a lot anymore. No one knew what it was 2 years ago when I got it.

Now it seems like everyone knows what it is and stare a lot.
