I told them the price and that I do in fact, love this car, and they flashed me a thumbs up.
This happened to me too, not 2 mins after driving off the lot with my new baby. At the first light I stopped at, an older couple in an older 3 series drive up and both enthusiastically flash me the thumbs up. Made my day!

I had this conversation with a neighbor the other day:

Him: "Nice job with the car!"

Me: "Oh, with the parking?" (I park at a slight angle within my spot)

"No, with the car."

".....???"

"I thought it was like custom, you know how some people make custom cars and do stuff with their cars?"

"No... that's exactly how it came from the factory"

"Oh... nice car."

Right, so it's pretty much the same as you paying tuition and he bought the car. Actually the car is probably way cheaper.

My first real compliment I got was about a week or so after getting my car. I was heading to my brother's house and for a solid 20 minutes a guy in a Tundra was following me on the highway, changing lanes as I was, pacing me all the way. I finally exited as did he, came up to the first red light and he pulled up next to me and did the roll down your window gesture. All he said was, "Yeah I was supposed to exit about 10 miles back but I just wanted to tell you have a very nice car." "Well thank you." I replied. He gave me a thumbs up and went on his way. Made my day, lol.
