I like your thinking! That's a great comeback. It's been my experience that Californians are not shy when it comes to discussing money. They'll just come right out and ask how much it cost.

It never fails to crack me up when people pull alongside & ask if it's real... OF COURSE NOT! Would a guy like me have a spare $550k sitting around for an original? ... and even if I did, would I drive it through town on a weekday evening? I don't think so! I guess my midwestern upbringing is showing...

I DO live in a pretty jaded area, though... lots of Ferraris & Lamborghinis so most don't go ga-ga over the car- though many DO tend to roll up their windows. I may have to borrow that reply on occasion...
