So I asked him where his friend was and discovered he worked at an insurance agency in a strip mall further down the road on the way to work... so I told him what the hell - I'll drive through the parking lot ala drive-by... just for him 
A couple of minutes later I drove into the strip mall parking lot and there was the ENTIRE population of the company (about 10 people) standing outside waving and cheering as I drove up - it was surreal.
I stopped and talked to the guy for a couple of minutes - he was the boss after all. Supposedly he has a car-crush on the Elise (like any of us have never had such a thing) but had never seen one in person.
I made his day |
That's awesome. I busted out laughing when you said the whole population was standing outside... good story
