Yesterday I had to stop in at a local car rental office for some routine business. As I was pulling into the parking lot, I could see a guy heading out of the parking lot, in a rental Charger. He looked at the BlTCHlN' Camaro pulling in, and he got the dreamy/ jaw drop/ admiring look... as fellow fifth gen pilots, you are all familiar with this look. No biggie... see it all the time, but never get tired of it.

So, I continued through the lot, parked in front of the office. As I stepped out of the car, I heard an engine rev, then a little chirp of tires. I looked over to see the dude backing up at high speed, headed in my direction.

He screeches to a stop next to me, rolls down the window. "Excuse me... is that a rental, or is that your personal car?" he asked.

Took me a second to figure out what/ why he was asking. I said, "Ah... sorry, this one's mine..." (another thing I never get tired of).

He said, "Dang! I was hoping that was a rental, because if you were turning that one in, I'd be back in the office in a hot second trading this one for THAT one!"
