Default Drive by compliment

I know other people have had similar axperiences, but this was my first one... I was in a pretty pissy mood this morning (wrong side of the bed kinda thing) anyways, I'm sitting at this stop light this morning and this ol' boy pulls up next to me in the turn lane and goes "hey!"...."hey!" so I turn down my stereo and go what! He says " I don't usually do this, talk to people at lights, but that's a DAMN NICE car man! I want one of those. You like it?" well it snapped me out of my bad mood and I replied yeah it's a great car, best car I've owned yet. He gave me a thumbs up said take care and made his turn.

I just thought it was pretty cool, I've had all sorts of people stare at the car and turn to look, but that was m first drive by compliment.

I passed a guy going the opposite way who was driving the exact same thing as me. Same color, Pony Package, stripe delete. I pointed and said to my passenger, "Hey, that guy has the same.........". He was pointing right back at me saying the same thing to his passenger.

That's great, glad it picked you up -- I had a similar experience with my 2006 triple black pony convertible. I was driving home on I-696 here in Michigan and hit the typical "rush hour" back up. I'm sitting there with the top down and hear someone say "that is a great looking car -- what is it"? I look over to see 2 guys in big Dodge pickup with a hemi -- same type of questions from them --- and made the back up a little more pleasant (although having the top down on a May day in Michigan was already a big help).
