7216 gets VIP welcome

[3kcarbon]

I drove over to the local Autozone to get some caliper paint today and got a suprise. When the Store Manager saw me park he met me at the door like a high class hotel doorman and expressed what a honor it was to have my business. Gee I never got that treatment going to buy parts for it before it was driveable... 7216 has arrived get the red carpet quick!

[Gumball]

Nah, those guys don't go to Autozone.

Hee hee, went back to Autozone over the weekend driving the grocery getter. I was a nobody again! No greeting or anything. We know who the celebrity is...

No pictures! It didn't happen. :p

No pictures! It didn't happen. :p
I don't need pictures to prove I 'm a "nobody" without the car... just another customer...

On my first long drive on the open road (rough looking in gelcoat) I had a Ferrari go by the other direction.....and he waved to me.

So whether it's an Autozone manager or Ferrari guy you can expect to be turning heads.

I knew from reading the forums to expect it but until you see it live and in person you just don't expect it as much as it is. Its part of the fun I guess.
