anybody ever notice?
that whenever you take your car somewhere everybody always wants a ride? even though you may have already given them a ride 5 times that week they cant get enough of your car? maybe its just me. (of course im always willing to comply! no big problem!) also, one more thing how many times do you still look back at your car in its parking space when you are walking into a store? HAHA maybe im just a freak!

Happens to me as well, I look back at my car everyonce and a while. More than that I am still amazed every time I walk to my car in a parking lot or at home...that that is my car and not some other lucky guys. :D

Re: anybody ever notice? (1996man)
I hadnt really thought about it but yeah...people DO seem to need rides places rather more often now. Ive had people stop and say no thanks if I start to take them in one of my other cars :lol:
And yes, I also look back every single time I walk away from the vette. I sometimes try NOT to look back but...resistance is futile.....

I always park way out in the parking lot, and always look back. Aren't we all just crazy :lol: Also my dog, a female Schnauzer, loves to ride in the car. We have a Jeep Cherokee also. But when we tell her we are going for a ride she always go to the Vette's door looking at it ready to jump in. :yesnod:

Re: anybody ever notice? (1996man)
I have a few real close friends and they have already been in it enough, i think they are sick of me talking about it all the time so the last thing they want to do is ask for ride, and as far as when we are around people i'm not to close with, being 20, they seem to be to jealous to ask for a ride and they go out of their way not to act impressed.

Always look back, heck, I go out to the garage every night before I go to bed just to look at her one more time before I hit the hay. :sleep:

Re: anybody ever notice? (1996man)
Yep. I autocrossed both days this weekend. Today there were LOTS of Z06s out there, and I was one of only two C4s. I have friends and a small reputation, though. The guys with the Z06s are mostly nationally competetive and faster than me (if both in equal cars...) But people still like the Vette :cheers: Its the people who want to DRIVE that get annoying.

Re: anybody ever notice? (1996man)
I found that people always use to ask me if they can drive it... and they actually expected me to say yes :crazy: .
When I had my C4 I always use to admire it and stare at it parked in the driveway, I miss it :cry
