It's difficult to say - it can sometimes get a bit embarassing when they're going on and on but then again I'm glad of the enthusiasm.

Due to working in the autmotive industry lots of people come over to chat about the car and always remark as to how clean it is.

I almost always say "Thank you, it's so much fun it should be illegal" to most people. Sometimes I say it to folks who are just staring even when they don't say anything.

It helps keep up the values to make sure that everyone covets them and desires to be you in that car!

Yeah, when I was boosted I got a LOT of attention from the younger crowd but it's amazing how many older men want one and how many women of all ages want to be with someone who buys and drives one.

Reminds of me something Seinfeld said:
I love it when people are complimented on something they're wearing
And they accept the compliment as if it was about them
"Nice tie", "Why thank you, thank you very much"
The compliment is for the tie, it's not for you
But we take it, and that's kind of the job of clothes
To get compliments for us, because it's very hard to get compliments based on your human qualities
Right, lets face it, no matter how nice a person you are
Nobody's gonna come say, "Hey, nice person!"
It's much easier to be a bastard, and just try and match the colors of it.
