Default Annoying Flattery

I was just wondering something. I get offered, at least, once a month, by people to buy my car and or people gauging intrest in buying my car, which is not for sale. I was just wondering if you guys get thistoo. Just this morning some kid came and knocked on my door, I believe he's one of the kids (17-19 years old) that lives in the Fema trailer down the road as they've been displaced by Katrina, and asked if I was interested in selling my car as he wrecked his Mustang and wanted another one. Damn, talk about just skip all the personal car building and get a car that's partially built.I had to, of course, turn him down and told him to look around as he's sure to find a good 5.0, but serriously, this crap both flatters, and annoys the hell out of me and I just wanted to know if any of you guys get this.

my car doesnt look even half way close as good as yours. i have rust thats visible to the most blind people but they still offer me tons of money(like 4k or 6k which is way more than i paid). alot of the people know me so they know i take really good care of the car and i am trying to make it a beast. but i have some people randomly drive by asking me how much i want for the car.....weird? i like it, buti just smile and send them on their way...

People def. admire my current car, but know one has tried to buy it yet, they probably know they could not afford it, cant go to the bank and get a loan onnice old cars, i would not consider anything lower than 15K, andbook value for a 89 is what, around $2500?When i had a notch, hatch and a 70 nova, i used to get visits all the time. I have been guilty of doing the same thing, if i see a old muscle car that has been sitting in same spot for a long time, i will ask if it is for sale.

I havent had anyone ask me to buy mine in a while... been over a year, but before that people would ask me about once or twice a month, it didnt really annoy me, but it didnt happen that often
