Drove up The Crest this morning for breakfast at Newcomb's Ranch. This road just reopened after the big Station Fire this Summer. Lots of road workers and transportation workers trimming trees, scooping dirt, and generally maintaining the road.
Got LOTS of waves and thumbs-up as I passed the workers and flagmen.

I don't know about you guys, but when I was a kid, I got snubbed lots of times, by car guys. They just kind of brushed us off a lot of the time, when we'd want to see their car.

I don't do that, now. When I get comments or stares from kids, I try and take the time to talk to them, and also thank them for their comments or interest in the car. These are the future guardians of the hobby

Gassing the Cobra up coming back from the Gentleman's Club, (on the street-side gas island), I heard a honk from a horn, and two Brinks Armored Car guards were waving and giving me the "thumbs-up" as they drove past the gas station.

Well of course. The Bikini Bottom hanging from the mirror was what they were really honking about

In my home state, Michigan, the guys with the hot cars were always ready to talk about their cars provided they were not stupid comments, also catching them without their bud's around helped. If you showed couriosity and listened there was no problem. Rides were something else all together. It was because of the knowledge passed on I became a car nut, something I truly want to and enjoy passing on.
Currently I am passing it on to my son in law, he is eagar for the knowledge and never had the opportunity in his earlier years.
