Coming home from work today, I came to a "T" intersection. Across the street right in front of me was a little boy and his sister, neither one of them more than 6 or 7. Mind you, last Friday I installed the color shifting halos from Oracle(thank you AAC) and was sitting there at the intersection with blue halos on. While waiting for traffic to clear so I could turn left, I noticed the little boy staring. Still no opening in traffic so I grabbed the remote and flipped the halos to red. The look on that little guys face was priceless. As soon as I had pushed the button his eyes lit up and opened wide and his jaw literally dropped open. He never made a sound, never pointed, smiled or waved as I went around the corner in front of him. The only thing that moved was his little head as it pivoted on his neck to watch me go by. I went from Autobot to Deceptacon right before his little eyes. Needless to say I got a pretty good chuckle out of it.

Way to make a kid's day!

I bet we'll see that kid in a 7th gen Camaro years down the line

Very cool. Some of the best moments I've had with my car were around kids.

Best moment still is the time I was driving in Canada through a very small town on highway 3 in BC. Two kids about 8 years old were standing by the road and yelled for me to burn off as I passed them. There was no traffic, I was headed out of town on a straightaway...and decided the time was right and stopped.

After some smoke through 1st gear, and I look back to see the kids jumping up and down with their arms waving cheering me on as I disappeared into the sunset...
