how do you respond when somebody tells you "nice car"

i always say something like "thanks...." and then there is an awkward pause when i don't know what else to say.

how do you guys respond...

If I'm having a bad day, I'd say "if I wanted your opinion I'd give it to ya....now hit the road...bitch."

On a good day I'd say "thanks......bitch".

I just say thanks, and kind of pretend someone is texting me. lol it helps beat the awkwardness... Every now and then, people can't tell if its a fucking 3 series or a 525i.... Hell people even asked if it was a 328i etc etc... I guess the debadge throws them off a bit , someone once asked if it was an M3. at this point, I am already inside the building and away from the idiot
