[DML] Re: Still getting the looks from other drivers....

["aaron_t_graham" <aaron_t_graham@xxxxxxxxx>]

Careful; not everyone who looks at you is cause to boost the ego. 
Whenever I look at someone in a decorated mustang or rice burner,
wondering how anything could possibly be more boring and tasteless,
I'm inflating their ego, too.  They think I envy them.

"But *I* am driving a DeLorean," you say.  Yes, but the Mustang driver
says, "But *I* am driving a Mustang!"  The rice-burner: "But *my* car
has a really big spoiler," etc.  And what about that person in the 911
turbo or the guy in the '99 Lotus, or the mother in the minivan that
thinks a car is such a stupid thing to be proud of?  They look, but do
they envy me?

It's just a car, one that just about any middle- or upper-class family
could easily afford, if so motivated.  Some people like it, many
don't, but I think most of the time people are staring slack-jawed at
my car, it's because they're thinking "what in the world is THAT??" 
It's not because they envy me.  My car would be worth a LOT more if
that were the case.

could still buy one - preferably with the flux capacitor option!
