There is an old guy up the street who walks by the house fairly often. this
has gone on for years. I always say howdy, he always ignores me and just
walks by.
Last summer I had the car warming up in the driveway and here comes this guy
walks by. Again head forward. Only this time he looks at the sounds coming
from the car, whips his head toward me and shouts WOW, NICE CAR!, turns away
and continues to walk by. He has never said a thing to me again.
On another note. my boys love to see how people respond to our car, as we
drive along. They feel real special to be in the car. And they they are now
15 and 19, and still feel that way.
They each talk about how they will have to share the car when I can no
longer drove it or pass on. Future 50, in deed.
remember the next time some goof asks a stupid question, you can't fix
stupid, just ignorance. use it as a chance to inform someone about our
hobby.
Not sure I'd offer them a ride though.........
