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)

A woman from a few doors down actually came into my garage and asked if she could see my E while I was installing my steering wheel cover. I pulled out of the garage while she went to get her boyfriend and gave the grand tour.

More surprising was that my 82 year old Dad (who's a happy Buick buyer) apparently checked one out at a dealer. He said it was a lot nicer than he'd heard and that he likes it. I don't think he'll be getting one, but it was cool that he actually stopped to look.
