Definitely it is you ! Lol
I’m feeling the same way, bud. I don’t care, I’m driving the car. I was with the wife at the grocery store a couple weeks ago. I was checking out the hot wheels with another guy and his wife. His wife says hey do you have this charger to him, he said no. I said are you a mopar guy? He said oh yeah! We start talking about hot wheels and he says, I met you a couple years ago in the Walmart parking lot. I said, how do you remember that? He said because I heard you before I saw you and waited til you parked. I then remembered he took pictures and we talked for a bit. Nice guy, he’s looking for a car to put his 440 in.

I get lots of waves and thumbs up, and the nice thing about having a Roadrunner is the beep beep horn, it’s sort of a universal salutation. If I pull up and somebody says nice car I just say thanks, and that I love it too.

I don't see any laughing. I love the look on the faces of the younger with today's Challengers? They know. Just posers with a credit card.

I used to have a 1966 Corvette convertible. It was like dating a super model. As soon as I walked away from it it was swarmed by guys.
No laughing while in the car, I was kidding. Other times, ya get used to it. That was what our elders thought back when we were youngsters. I’m all for it if they work for it and just maybe it will keep them off the bad stuff.

This happened to me a few weeks ago.
We have a neighborhood cruise-in at a nearby Target parking lot. This young man (18ish) and his mom stopped by to look at the cars. We struck up a conversation and she shared with me that this was her son's favorite car. He loves Chargers-always has.
In our conversations he told me he will be attending a mid-west university studying to become a commercial airline pilot. He seems like a very sharp young man.
We talked a lot about the history of my Charger and Mopars in general.
The following week they showed up again. I was sitting around with several guys talking cars and I looked up and there they were looking at my car. I walked over and started talking to them. I asked him if he would like to go for a spin. His eyes lit up and his response was "are you kidding me?" We jumped in the car and I took him for a spin. I opened it up a couple times and his expression was priceless. He loved it! We came back and his mom took a couple pics of him and the car. They both thanked me for doing that. It made my day and I'm pretty sure it made Hunter's day as well.

Here’s my young friend from down the street, he had some firewood for sale and I hooked him up with a local business owner to make a deal to buy it all. We loaded some “samples” of his product up in the trunk of the RR and headed up to the store. His mom just posted that he is still talking about his ride in the Roadrunner. And, that he used the money from the sale of the wood to buy himself a dirt bike. The future of the hobby is in good hands!

I get it all the time, not just in the Mopars, but in the Kenworth as well. I ALWAYS say thank you. Not only for the compliment, but for making me feel like my hard word is noticed and appreciated.
That is the same reason that I ALWAYS compliment someone on their "pride and joy", regardless of make and model.

Easy to see why that happens bud! Like I said, you have great taste in vehicles. Like a lot of us, I appreciate all the classics. You bet I compliment or thumbs up.
