Couldn't resist.. old vs new

Pulled up behind this guy over the weekend. Dunno... sort of like to see the fenders on my car. And his is taller than mine!

2020 C3 of the Year Finalist - Modified

Nice....I know the feeling.

Nothing much against the other newer gens, but when side by side the c6 looks kinda bubbly and large. Guy at work drove his c6 (3 c6 guys and then the there's me and my c3).

Did he wave? (not meant to be rhetorical)
Did you?

I waved as he turned, but I couldn't tell if he waved back.. his windows were tinted outlaw black. Passed him on the way back from my run on the same road.. still couldn't tell if he waved

I did pass a '71/72 on the way to where I was going.. he pulled up along side coming up to a light... oh geez.. total 'bubba' going on - camo hat, long grey beard over a pot belly.. sidepipes that sounded anemic and rear wheels that were at a large negative camber. He waved and gunned it, disappearing down the highway.. I just waved and shook my head. There was a trooper further down the road that he didn't see...

yeah the view over my C3 is much nicer than my 99. Kinda like staring down a low cut blouse with out the guilt.

but pot bellys and grey beards are a fact of life at a certain age.

I like both the old and newer, advantages to both. Here are mine (31 years apart):

A buddy of mine stopped yesterday with his new toy... brand new, less than 100 mile 2015 in Night Race Blue Metallic with black interior. Gorgeous toy... still not sure I'd buy one. Since everything is electronic.. even the park brake... one weird power surge and the car is fried. I think I like something I can actually work on without a PhD.

and at JNeal.. yep.. got the belly. It's that time of life. But the fellow in question had a nice set of tooth to match. In our area it's rare to see the bare footed hillbilly in an urban environment. No offense to those that actually go barefoot..
