What do you say when told you have a nice car?

I've gotten so many complements this evening I'm not quite sure what to say back. I usually wave, say thanks. I'm really thinking, "I Know." What do you guys say?

In most of the cases I say "thanks", but every now and then don't really know what to say, because their initial remark isn't "nice car", but "nice Ferrari!". Although this kinda stopped since I installed the trunklid letters.

A "Thank You" is a good answer.

It's usually kids, reacting to the front pony.

"I know" is exactly what they say. Might as well be honest. I feel it is nice and obviously so do they so I dont hide the truth. But I also usually ask them if they want to check it out.

I always say "Thanks, or Thank you, with an "I appreciate it", and a smile. Never want to offend someone, and make them think I am some sort of pompous A$$ with a nice car.

While this is what I might be thinking, I usually just say "Thanks, I love it."

**** rednecks. I'm in the Panhandle, and they're everywhere here too. I don't have to worry about getting picked up though.

My standard and most popular reply for either the female gender or the Camaro guys:

Is that a marriage proposal?
