Guess which one I drive when I get estimates from contractors?

Like I said in the other post I own two work vehicles a 1 ton truck (13mpg) and one a Geo Metro (43mpg). I now get looks on both ends of the spectrum when I drive the Geo people look at me like poor guy I bet he’s broke as hell, and then when I drive the Vette it’s like damn that’s one hell of a nice ride I wonder what he does for a living. It’s funny and sad in a way but it’s my life.2252740.jpg

=====================================================

Regardless of which car you drive, people probably say "poor guy" to both. But when they see you in the vette they say, "poor guy. I bet he's an unemployed GM worker...but atleast he got a discount on his car." LOL

Sounds to me like you are too concerned with what other people think when you're driving a car.

True, the beat up Geo is a good idea for business reasons, but why do you care what others think when you're not on the job?

Pleeze post a pic of yourself wearing a Fossil Watch(?) sitting behind the wheel of your Vette?

And if you have an inflatable, anatomically correct, life-size, opposite gendered(hopefully), doll, put her (it) behind the wheel so we can get a really good look at your prized possession.

Cousin,

The contrast in vehicles is a decent post.

But in your original paragraph you imagine what people think while you're driving the vette.

"...then when I drive the Vette it’s like damn that’s one hell of a nice ride I wonder what he does for a living"

I've driven ****box cars/trucks, and I've driven nice shiney cars/trucks.

Never ONCE did I imagine nor even care what others were thinking.

Which begs the question, with all sarcasm put aside, "why do you care"?
