I have to admit even in the most evil of moods, it still makes my day when people say 'nice car' even after they just ticketed me.
And I can usually park it in someone important's spot when in a rush, because they think someone more important than them owns it.
And My stepdaughter usually won't ask to borrow my car because she thinks it cost a fortune.
The MD in my office constantly has to look away sheepishly when he complimented on his car in the lot.
