I came out of my townhouse to get some stuff I had in the E and discovered a neighbor giving it the thorough look over.

He drives a Mercury Mountaineer (about 85k miles/year, as he's in Real Estate( and his wife drives a CRV. Actually, he's driving the CRV, since he has 20,000 miles to burn before the lease runs out in September.

Anyway, he had not looked seriously at the car because he thought it was "just a car for kids", but is now planning to visit the dealer. :wink:

He also thought his customers would get a kick out of it. (I can see it now. "My car's in the shop; I had to borrow my son's)

Had another such experience. I live in horse country in New Jersey. So I come out of the supermarket, and here's this stunning thirty something blonde in formal riding pants & knee boots eyeing my SSM.

As she gets into her (top down) likewise silver, Jaguar, she says "Really cool!"

As I am more than twice her age,and, to be charitable, portly, I doubt that it was anything but a compliment.

Gee, I'd LOVE to be in Honda's target age group --- again! :twisted:
