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? |

Lots of folks just look at cars as transportation. Second most expensive purchase they make and once the "new" is gone they treat it like trash. Makes one wonder what their houses look like?
I got my first car in 1952 when I tiuned 16 but I was a "fanatic" about cars by then as were many American males of that generation. A fair number of young folks today don't even want to get their driver's license when the time rolls around when they can. When I was that age young American boys and girls were counting down the days to that special birthday. With a generation or two of "non-car"guys around what is going to happen to cars and the laws that govern them? Already talk by the "green folks" of going back to the 55 mph limit. Dave |
