True! I'm 19 and i worked my heart out to afford this car, i've had the car for just two days and i've already had a couple people ask me if my parents bought me the car. I'll take it as a compliment though.

At least you are an adult now and graduated from the sh!t Civic to a mediocre Fit.

My father told me at 13 if I thought he was going to buy me a car, forget it! I started working and bought and sold 3 cars before I had a license. Kicked my parents out of the garage when I was 18 because my car was newer than theirs.

OP, yes they do but age has a factor in this also. In my early to mid twenties back in the early 80's I owned a 72 Vette then a 76 280Z. Young ladies whom I didn't know would come up to me all the time and strike up a conversation. When I owned a Toyota Corona before that, I was invisible.
In late 03, (age 45) I was one of the first here to get a G35 Coupe and now the Z (age 55), young ladies will look and a few have said "nice car" but not really looking to strike up a conversation. Oh chit, why'd I write this, I'm all depressed now |

When I drove my Subaru, people expected me to be a flat billed hat wearing Ken Block worshiping Brotard. Now that I drive a Z, people are surprised I'm not Asian. Oh well.

No idea. I'm in TX, so the simple fact I'm not in a truck is out of the ordinary. Maybe a beige Camry?

My mom had a beige Camry. It was invisible. You could speed to your heart's content and never get stopped. If I ever decided to smuggle contraband I'd use one.

I've had several occasions where young girls, and I mean girls, like teenagers, say nice car. I know they're not looking at me. They just like the car. THen I had a neighbor lady telling my wife how she saw my car and said to her friend, "there goes a mid-life crisis". I smiled and laughed before I walked off.
I've heard more about the midlife crisis than anything else. Fact is, the midlife crisis was years ago when I bought the Mustang 5.0. The Z is just about getting back to what I've always loved. My second car was an MGA. My roommate had a TR4. We helped each other work on them and tune up the SU carbueretors and fix the Lucas wiring. I've always liked sports cars. I had to drive a pickup for a few years while we were in the home remodeling phase. And that coincided with the Windstar van while in the kid raising phase. I guess people like to label you no matter what you drive. Our brains are hardwired to classify things into neat little boxes. |
