Default Truth or Dare

Come on all, it is time to play truth or dare. Who is willing to be truthful on admitting to watching your vehicle reflection as you drive by shopping centers where all you see is the glass windows and your vehicle reflection in it as you drive by.....

Dare you to be honest about it....

I drive by just to see how great of a vehicle I have...man....are we the lucky ones.....

Hell, I did that today! First time seeing my reflection in the Vette since I got her. What a site! If I ignore the fugly spot in the driver's seat, it's a damned cool image!

Every chance I get!!! My dad taught me to do this when I was a little girl....we'd ride downtown past all of the department store windows just to see the reflection of his Plymouth Fury!! I've done it in every car I've owned, but the Vette has the MOST gorgeous reflection I've seen yet!

Ohhh yeaaaaahhh, without a doubt. I looooove to see the reflection, especially when I have to drive toward the windows or doors, then turn slowly, it reminds me of something Johnny Bravo used to say..."MAN I'M PRETTY!!"

Ya got me. I do this everyday when i go make my deposits at the bank....there is a black glass building across from the bank and it creates a perfect reflection of the vette.....

I thought i was the only one?

What???? I'm not that vain and wouldn't do that.

Well. Except maybe at the credit union where I wait for a parking spot right in front so I can see myself park and look at the cool front of the car with the running lights on and then rev the engine up so all the ladies inside look outside to see me.

But other than those occasions, nope, not me.

Oh yeah, there are a few buildings down town here that if you keep making the block you can see yourself going in circles, too.

I started doing that years ago when I was riding motorcycles. It was a heck of a lot easier (and more fun!) than constantly asking "How do I look on this one?" Now I do it in the Vette every chance I get! Yep, I still look cool!

Ha, when I drive by the local high school that has a huge plate glass front I sometimes become a safety hazard not looking at the road. Of course, during the school year I get a lot of the kids giving me the eye as I drive by at the posted 20 mph limit. That way we both can get a better view...
