Even if I'm going to Wal-Mart, I find myself looking for a "cool" parking space.
You know, the "spot." That mystical parking zone that your car is safe from both
predators and hazards. I find it important to locate a "window" parking spot.
These are the most desirable. Not only can the folks within the structure see you
pull up, the "window" spots are historically the "safest." That's "Cool."As "Cool" as I may consider myself to be, I am in a bit of a quandary. Is there an unwritten "Cool" rule regarding beeping your horn at another classic car? I can spot a vintage car by its headlight configuration on a dark, rainy country road. I always give a "beep, beep, beep". However, I have experienced about a 30 percent return-beep. Now occasionally I attribute this to this to the oncoming driver needing all of their faculties to navigate their "old" car down the road, thus, the non-return-beep. Or perhaps the non-return-beep is because they are too focused on isolating an annoying squeak somewhere on the dash. Well maybe, but I suspect that the "Cool Factor" is to blame. Have some folks taken being "cool" too far? Too "cool" to even acknowledge another "cool" car? Wow, that amount of coolness confined within a vinyl interior staggers the senses. If that were the case, even The Fonz would be proud.  webmaster@mydailydriver.com |
