So I am pumping gas at Mobile this morning... A guy in a van pulls up next to me and says "Man... what a beautiful car"
I thank him kindly (Don't get alot of compliments from strangers due to the fact that my car is close to stock and there are so many of them in my area)
His next comment - " They are making BMW's closer and closer to Mercedes each year..."
SIGH!!! WTF! There goes the validity of the compliment
