[SCOBRAC]

I pretty much ignore it for safety reasons. I counted them one time I got an average of three honks, waives or thumbs-up per mile. I do tend to acknowledge other very cool cars or bikes.

I have stopped looking altogether at the 17-24 year old females who are either walking, or are with their BF's in any kind of "cool" car who would obviously rather be in mine. I have been flashed 3 times that I know of by almost-old-enough's walking in my neighborhood.

I will admit I do tend to notice the soccer moms, 25-40 year hotties and former hard bodies that have been sentenced to 20 years behind the wheel of a BMW station wagon, GMC Yukon or even a mini van who are looking like they would do ANYTHING for a ride.

The interesting ones are the 45-60 year old's who were around when these cars were on the street. I'm not sure how many actually got to take a ride but it's obvious lots of them want to. I get the distinct feeling it would be a ride I wouldn't forget either.

The funniest are the men. Guys are either into it and honk or waive or totally ignore it as if it isn't there. I was at an outdoor shopping outlet center and I was about 40 feet from my car and this late 20's ish family walked by. A guy his wife and a 3 year old... The wife is looking, the kid is looking like she is seeing color for the first time. But the guy is looking straight ahead almost like it isn't there, but he is completely aware of what his wife and daughter are doing. Finally the little girl says "WOOOOOWWW.. Daddy what is that?" The father almost scowling, still not looking over says, "It's a cobra" and tells his wife who had stopped to look "we have to go" and he hurried off.

I live at a busy 4 way stop. I have noticed a few near misses at the intersection when the car is uncovered. People are loking over and forget to stop or not noticing someone else that has stopped.
