It seems to be a topic of interest for both of us. Of course my eyes would be drawn to an older model Corvette Stingray but if a pinto backfired behind me I would get distracted. "The baddest of bad boys"...seriously? Would you want them to hold your interest? Tiffany, it is interesting that we haven’t talked much about cars (if at all).

“The baddest of bad boys”…seriously? Would you want them to hold your interest?

Last night at work, I took a break from the Sunday night academic library blues, and went outside to do a logic puzzle and smoke. Then I saw one of our regular, hardcore-studying students walking away from a car that was *different*. Ooh, not another Daddy's Beemer Mercedes. I can't name model and year and a glance like Tiffany and our dad, but yep, it was actually a Cooper Mini. My break was instantly shinier. I looked at the kid, and suddenly thought he was more attractive than I remembered. "That yours?" Nervous look, since he left it in front of the building with his hazards on, and I am an Authority Figure. "Nice." I approach. It's neato. Now that I'm a Jeep driver, though, I realize I really loathe plastic and fiberglass anything. I have a thing for rims, however. Mini rims are damned cute. I'm thinking this thing can't handle worth a damn in the snow, and not missing being low to the ground (unless it's a Mustang--ANY Mustang), when I notice the tires. They're so smooth they might as well have had a chemical peel. Ewww. I can't believe I thought, even for a second, that kid with the bald tires was remotely attractive. It's gotta be what you grow up with, yes, but even the baddest of bad boys has to know THAT much to hold my interest past a stoplight glance. I’m with both of you on this.
