Just a couple of observations. First, I am a Car Guy. I'm always noticing the cars around me in traffic, in the parking lot at work, in my neighborhood. When I see something out of the ordinary, I simply have to check it out.
I drove my 914 to work today, and went out to lunch. Like other Car Guys, I parked in a "safe" spot near the restaurant, and sat where I could keep an eye on it. Some guys walked out of the restaurant and walked right by it without a glance, giving it the same attention they would a Camry. Others, walked by with their heads swiveling as they passed. One guy almost walked into a sign. Thing is, I just don't understand Non-Car Guys. Help me, what's wrong with those guys? |

I don't get 'em either. We have a couple guys at work that drive bland, filthy door-dinged pieces of crap no-name sedans. They kind of get a minus in the "dude" column for that.
Even when I'm driving a beater sedan or whatever, I'll have something cool going on with it, to give it away as a gearhead's ride. You can have some pride in most anything. |

Don't knock 'em... these cars don't attract attention from the cops, and they allow the owner to spend his money on a much sweeter weekend ride. I'd still be driving my '94 Camry had it not been totaled. |
