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? |

TC hit it, imo
new cars, for the most part have no personality, and the ones that do, are bad. and when a car comes out that does have something that is appealing... it's squashed by flooding the market with them. like the PT cruiser... it was different when it came out and that made it cool, then everyone and their dog got them and they ceased to be different, then they made bad copies... it's like bad music... when I do see something that is different, or classic I have to drive around the parking lot or follow the car where ever it's going to get a better look... I went to starbucks the other day just because there was a Lambo parked in front (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) cars now just are plain, and un-inspiring. most are coated in plastic, inside and out, and feel as antiseptic as a couch with the plastic kept on it... either that or they are so used to seeing 1 million SUVs that they think THAT is what vehicles should look like... bottom line, I feel sorry for non-car guys. the same way I feel sorry for people who never bothered to learn to drive a standard transmission... they missed out. |
