As I was driving in today, minding my own business, I ran into a couple of sweet rides...2005+ Impala's (I could care less about these cars so I don't know what year they were). One was the grandma version and the other the "I think my car is pretty sweet with a v8, but still a Lumina" model. Both of which had some hot head drivers. I first ran into the hot rodded Impala, who was looking to have some morning stoplight fun...I, however, was not but tend to leave every stoplight with some haste. He took it as a race, and wouldn't stop. Then the second, in the grandma version, tried to race as well...but, again, I'm not a boy racer anymore and let him be the fool. Finally at the last light, as we sat next to each other he looks over at what looks to be either my gold wheels or the hood scoop and just gives a shake of the head as if to say "why are you driving that". What gives? I agree, my car looks to be less of a 30 yr olds car...but is more fun than many cars on the road (for the price)...not only that, but if you're driving an Impala, do you really have the upper hand in automobile styling and fun...I think not. Besides the early 90's, the only other good years for those cars was the 60's. Sorry, just bored at work and for some reason that little shake of the head got me a little worked up.
I had a toothless lady in a rusty pick-up truck point and laugh at the grocery cart wing. I could have laughed back and pointed at the missing teeth/holes in quarters/or the fact that her neck was a similar shade to sedona red pearl. But really, what would that accomplish? There will forever be ignorant people on this earth, just smile and wave.... :wavey:
I thought about the blowing doors off option...but was on Hennepin in early morning traffic. I did, however, give him a smile and wave. On a similar note, I once had a guy pull up next to me on the highway and point his finger at me pretending to shoot me with his thumb and fore finger...I don't remember why, but it certainly wasn't a shooting worthy incident.
i hate when people in current model impalas/chargers/v6 mustangs/v6 camaros think they are the ****. I guess they hadn't noticed that the quality that came with those names back in the day hasn't stayed with them (with a few exceptions).
I got that too for the goldies. It bothered me for some reason too. I'm a 45 year old in a car most think of as a 25 year old's car (I owned a bicycle when I was 25). Then I had to figure out how to ensure that I'm really satisfied with my car choice. So as I'm driving along I look at other cars and think, would I really rather be in that? The answer for me comes back 100% "no". Subarus are the smartest cars on the road anywhere there is weather. Owning a subaru is evidence that you are one of the smarter people on the roadway. Dumb people will always be confused. Of course, I may be biased.
