I was driving down Goldenwest St. in Westminster, CA yesterday with my newly on the road SPF Brock Coupe. A Suburban pulls along side and a 12-ish year old boy sticks his head out the window and yells, "I love your car!" After thanking him, he says, "What is it?". I yell, "A Superformance Brock Coupe!" He says, "Cool". I pull into a restaurant parking lot a few minutes later for lunch. I park, shut her down, grab my stuff and start to get out. As soon as I turn around, there's the kid and his brother. The mom is in the Suburban and sheepishly says, "Can my kids ask you about your car?" I could tell she was embarrassed, but being a good mom. The kids were going nuts over the car and one of them asks, "What year is it?" I said, "Actually it's brand new, but it's a reproduction of a 1965 race car - the first American car to beat Ferrari for the world GT championship." The kid just looks stunned for a second and says, "Whoaaaaa, I thought it was from the future!"

Absolutely made my day!
