Went to breakfast about a month after I got the car in a neighboring tourist town. Walked out to find a group of retirees from WA state looking over the car. Unlocked it and told them to take a look inside. Gentleman took a handerchief out so that he didn't put prints on the door handle. They just loved it and I loved his TLC. Talked for a while and I think their 4 door sedan may be upgraded.
Next trip to the same place, ran into a guy that has one similar to mine. Came out to find some young kid taking pictures of them. Took him a bit to realize it was mine. Very polite and was just in awe.
My favorite was a short road trip to just get some miles on it. Stopped to get gas in a small town. An older gentleman and his wife who drove a nice Caddie walked up and starting asking if it was a V8, manual, etc. Said he could never get in it since he would want one. I asked him if wanted to go for a ride and we were off in no time. I bet he has a new Camaro next time I run into him. He had the biggest grin and laughed like a kid the whole time. His wife didn't look too happy when we got back, but it made my day.
