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 think it's what you grew up with - if your dad was a car guy good chance you are too. On the other hand if dad watched football or some other ball sport all weekend instead of wrenching on something you probably are the same.
One thing I have noticed lately is that sports-guys (and gals) seem to think they have the right to change TV channels while another person is watching something other than THE GAME. Happened at my house while I was watching a touring car race last weekend. My wife's friends came over and promptly grabbed the remote and put on THE GAME (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) I changed it back and told them to go watch it at home. They have done this 50+ times over the last few years and I finally had enough (I don't really like them in the first place.) |
