Default Re: Did you buy it for attention? Not me, but...

I drove my XF to work for the 1st time since I put it away for winter today. Man, I had forgotten how fun it is to drive it.
Here's the funny part. On my way in, I had a cop behind me for about a mile and finally pulled me over. He apologized for stopping me, but wanted to know what kind of car I was driving. He recognized the Chrysler wing, but could not believe it was a Chrysler. As he's checking it out, he realizes I don't have a front plate. He just raised his eye brow, and told me I should get one. He told me how much he liked the car, and drove away.
Next, we go out after work for a beer. One of my consultants asked me at the bar; "is that your black Mercedes convertible out there"? When I told him yeah, he said "man your company really takes care of you". I just grinned and took it in.

Not a bad day.
