The team had a good time and on the way back to the cars we stopped and admired one of my team's '63 Stingray. We passed Mercedes, Lexus, BMWs and even a Bentley on the way back to the garage.

I got to my Cayman S and there is a small piece of paper tucked into the driver-side window.

"Oh God," I thought, "Someone has dinged my car and left a note." I pulled the scrap of paper from my car. It said...

"Beautiful CaymanS ... Congrats. The Jeep."

I really didn't buy this car spending a second on what other people would think. I'm not a bling guy. I just really liked the car. I wasn't really even aware of the attention the car would gather.

I do have to wonder though - how many other cars get notes on them from admiring strangers?

DF.

It's pretty incredible. I had two brand new Vettes pull up to me when I was loading groceries the other day to say "hi, great car". They both got out, did the walk around, etc.

My favorite was a couple months ago when a woman in a RX350 was literally hanging out the driver's window in morning rush hour traffic frantically waving me down to give me a thumb's up....I actually freaked when I saw her immediately thinking my entire car was on FIRE or something...nope, just an admirer!

Hard to know how to even react to such folly??!
