who cares what other people are driving?

strangers certainly don't care what you're driving.

Right now the driver's seat is driving me nuts. I gotta find a way to pad it or something. It's funny the things you don't notice on a short test drive but that crop up after a half hour or so of driving.

Recaro Pole Positions, in leather, of course. :)

Porsche + Audi = RS2

My second 95.5 urS6 had the RS2 intake, injectors, turbo, exhaust manifold, MTM tune, and a couple other tweaks and it was good for about 320hp. Wasn't a wagon, but Avants were available in the S6

Recaro does OEM for the S4 and special order in the A4. I'm seeing if I can find one of those.

Well, that's a silly statement. Everyone cares what everyone else is driving, even strangers - it's why these forums and THOUSANDS like it exist. SmileWavy

More than that, you see and hear evidence of strong feelings about the cars of other people, most of them strangers, all the time. If nobody cared about Porsche drivers, there wouldn't be that Porcupine joke. People wouldn't key cars, or cut off people, or give thumbs up and yell "Nice car, man." You wouldn't constantly hear about stereotypes associated with the drivers of certain cars, about spikey-haired ricer kids or gold-chain wearing Ferrari owners or mullet-wearing muscle car buyers.

Typically, a car is the 2nd-most expensive thing a person owns and their selection says a lot about them - how they feel about driving, about safety, about their income, where they are in life, if they're mechanically inclined or just trying to avoid walking. And contrary to some beliefs, trying not to say anything about yourself with your car is as telling as any other choice, even if that choice is to not own a car.

Cars tell you a lot about people, and people are always interested in other people. That's human nature.
