Default Cool component from a shop owner

Just got a great compliment from the owner of a NAPA shop that did my inspection. He came up to the counter while I was picking it up and he said “Man I’ll tell ya, I’m not a fan of those older F150’s- they go to **** so quickly, but yours is the nicest I’ve seen come thru here in at least 3 years. We couldn’t find anything even remotely almost worn. Beautiful.”

Means a lot to me since my 2004 has janky paint on the hood and roof. I try to keep it real nice. Makes it worth it.

Thank you Lenn, very cool
Compliments on a vehicle you work hard to maintain are always nice

That's always nice to hear.

My alignment / tire shop calls my the "Little Raptor". I call it a wannabe.

Hell no. As soon as I finished my research and gathered up the courage, the cold weather came.

Great story Lenn!

The new vehicles are cookie cutter dime a dozens.
Nothing like getting a compliment on an oldie considering some people forgot what they even looked like.
