datzenmike Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 not much of a story but it put a smile on my face Just like details, it's the small things that have the biggest impact. Kudos man. Quote Link to comment
denveratsun Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 When you get a compliment it feels great no matter who gives it. The fact that it was a little kid makes it even cooler...they SHOULDN'T even like an old car right? The fact that they do gives me a little hope for the future of what it means to be "cool":cool: Quote Link to comment

Jayden71 Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 I've actually gotten tired of the "I had one of those." random people being stoked on the dime is what really makes me happy. X2!! I have a couple friends who know very little about cars or car repair and they have given me some very nice compliments on my 521. A genuine compliment makes you feel a lot better.
