What an odd day. I drive my car back and forth to work everyday. I also drive it occasionally on the weekends. On average it racks up about 250-300 miles a week. But I never notice anyone looking and/or pointing at my car, it's rare I hear anyone tell me "nice car", and even rarer that anyone wants to race me. Most of the time I feel, by this lack of attention, that I'm driving a beige 10-year old minivan instead of a one-year only edition (for that body style) Cobra Mustang. Not that my car is really special or fabulous looking, it isn't. It's Fox Mustang, not new a Viper or Shelby GT500. But you'd think there would be enough car enthusiasts driving around, many of which have probably only seen a couple/few '93 Cobras, that I'd at least get a thumbs up once in a while.
Well, today made up for the long attention deficit. My car sat outside my mechanic's shop today. Just this afternoon -- from 12PM-5PM
-- he had SIX, 6, different people stop and ask questions about the car AND ask if it was for sale. THEN I drive my car to Lowes this evening, and a guy driving a new Corvette slows down, gets next to me, rolls down his window, then he asks... guess what? "Wanna sell your car?" I tell him no. Then he adds "that's sharp" as he stares.
What the hell? Okay, I do try to keep the car clean and it does look good for being a 15 year old car with 130+K miles but geeze.
Anyone else get this attention feast or famine?
