Unusual Response (?)
I probably shouldn't relate this story, but I'm sure you guys could use a good laugh.
This last weekend my wife and I were in our '74 coupe waiting at a red light while traffic was turning left in front of us. As this one guy was turning he blew us a kiss through his open window. We don't know him; have never seen him before. I'm hoping it was directed at the car because the other two options are slightly disturbing.
Anyone else get unusual responses like this? I like to get the wave or thumbs up, and I will definitely take the blown kiss from a woman (fat chance) but we had to scratch our heads and laugh at this one.

I would find even that disturbing. I remember watching a show on BBC last year about people who love their cars on a totally different dimension than we do. I forgot the term that they used for such people.

I was driving through a development not far from my home one Sunday morning and some guy is sitting on his porch enjoying the sunrise with a cup of coffee. I stopped at a stop sign in front of his house and I hear, "THAT'S AN AWESOME F&*KING CAR!!!"
I tipped my hat and gave him a nod.
