Do you ever compliment another person about how their truck looks?

Was at the local grocery store today and parked a few spots away from my GMC was a 4-5 year old Chevrolet 3/4 ton long box with a Duramax, it had been tastefully modified and appeared to be just off the showroom floor. As I came out with my cart and was unloading my stuff, the owner wheeled his cart by and began unloading his stuff. I walked over to him and said: "Your truck is simply beautiful, I can tell that you take good care of it..." His face lit up and he said thank you, it has 87,000 miles on it and I do try to keep it looking new.... Turned out he was a GM retiree who used to work with my ex-BIL....

I do that frequently, if I see another truck that obviously has been well cared for, and if I see the owner, I compliment them on how good their ride looks. Matters not to me if it's a GM, Ford, Dodge, whatever....

When you really take care of a vehicle, it shows pride of ownership. I cannot count the number of times I have made a positive comment to others during the past 20 years. How many times have YOU done the same thing?

Sometimes. But I live in Livingston county, and trucks seem to come in 2 flavors: $60K + commuter rides or rust bucket work trucks. Most folks don't take care of things that well.

How many times have YOU done the same thing?

I have no idea how many times, but I've done that with trucks, and with cars, and with motorcycles.

I have done it several time. Its easy to spot the owners who care. They are also the best people to buy from if looking.

That is the same thing that I do.

I think those who try to care for their own, are likely to recognize and acknowledge the efforts of others.

I do and I am on the receiving end also. Makes you feel good either way.

I was coming out of the store the other day and saw this guy walking around my truck. He didn't look suspicious, you could tell he was just checking it out. I walked up and we both introduced ourselves and he started asking me how I liked it and all. Turns out he was looking for a new truck but hadn't seen a new Silverado in black and he really liked the look of mine. Made me feel good.
