What about...

In half a year of owning KMP493 I've only once encountered someone affected by glare.

She was so lit up I couldn't even look at her without burning my eyes. I did feel bad for her. But she had a whole car length she could have pulled forward into. Maybe I fried her brain.

As to the original questions. I think I'm the second to worst person to ask. There is only one other person with more patina on his car than me and that's little Brother. I think the wear on my car is a bit like a badge of honor. It just illustrates that the car is meant to be driven and I courageously oblige. To the tune of 6500 miles in less than 5 months of ownership. About all I ended up caring about was having a clean windshield and thats only for selfish reasons - so that I can see out when driving. The smiles, the nods, the cell phone pictures out the window at 75mph tell me that most others don't care that the car has some scratches, neither do I.

So that day I passed you on the Alpine Highway and we were both driving our polished cars do you think the other drivers were blinded heading both directions?

6,500 miles in 5 months is that it?

6,500 miles since mid July! I drove that thing everywhere. I'd make up excuses to drive it. I'd take it to the end of the driveway to get the mail. I'd go to Home Depot then get home and say I "forgot" something else there...

I'm thoroughly, hopelessly addicted to driving that car. I'm going through withdrawls at the moment as I haven't driven it in three days. I went to the Festival of Trees a couple days ago and stared at the one they auctioned off for like 15 minutes, like I'd never seen one before.

If I REALLY want to have a good drive I'll take the car up Provo Canyon and run back and forth through the tunnel - dropping the car into 3rd at 50mhp and punching it at the entry. I'm sure there is a ticket waiting for me at the other end one day, but I won't care.

I do remember passing you on the Alpine Highway that day. I'd have waved sooner but I couldn't see you

Too much glare...
