I have to tell you, I've had WAY more good experiences than bad when it comes to noticing reactions to my car.
One of my favorite pastimes on long road trips is to find a car or group to run with in a friendly way. A month or two ago, it was a gaggle of the most gorgeous Ducati bikes I have ever seen assembled out on the road. I was heading to Atlanta from Birmingham, driving by the exit where Barber Motorsports Park is, and a big vintage weekend was just letting out.
The sun was setting and everything glowed that beautiful golden light, casting long dramatic shadows. A perfect dozen of Ducatis pulled onto the interstate (yes, I counted!). I just hung back, watching, listening, and admiring. As each one peeled off to his exit, he'd bump fists with the last guy in line to say goodbye. Sniff! It was a postcard moment that lasted about 75 miles.
