I found the ultimate pat on the back for driving a nice looking vehicle that you built. I was driving my safari down the highway and within 10 minutes recieved the thumbs up sign from three different vehicles going by.
Now to me thats just way cool! Makes me feels good and to make it even better my girlfriend was sitting next to me and said " wow people really like this van huh?"

Good for you, joker. That's the ultimate compliment, when it comes from someone you don't know and who couldn't give a damn about your feelings.

Always makes you feel good about the choices you've made about your ride.

As I was going through a drive thru today I got a; "That's the craziest van I've ever seen!" Sometimes I forget how spectacular my ride is because I've grown used to it and drive it daily. Comments like that remind me that life is only as mundane as I allow it to be......
