Agreed.

I haven't had compliments recently -- but some of my favorites have been from fast-food drive-up windows...

"Whoa, nice ride.", or "Is it amphibious?"..

My favorite was at a strip mall -- heading towards my VX and seeing some people with a Lexus parked near it from Mexico (I live near the border in S. Texas)...

Alas, in Spanish they asked .. "This is a very nice SUV, how much was it?" and I replied.. "A lot of pesos."
