Things people have said about your car

[bandi]

"Your car needs a paint job!"

"I hadn't noticed. Want to pay for one?"

That usually shuts them up.

I was pumping gas into the Beetle and some lady drove by, practically falling out of her car window giving me the peace sign.

Now that's shiny, my Beetle gets even more compliments and smiles than before.

Years ago driving my 73 Bus. "I've seen these things driving down the highway barely doing 45 mph, some with clouds of smoke pouring out, but I have never seen one doing 80 mph". "What do you guys have in this thing, a Porsche motor"?

For years I was asked "when are you gonna paint it?".

I eventually did.

The compliments continue, pretty much every time I take it out.

I mean the car.
