Careful; not everyone who looks at you is cause to boost the ego. Whenever I look at someone in a decorated mustang or rice burner, wondering how anything could possibly be more boring and tasteless, I'm inflating their ego, too. They think I envy them. "But *I* am driving a DeLorean," you say. Yes, but the Mustang driver says, "But *I* am driving a Mustang!" The rice-burner: "But *my* car has a really big spoiler," etc. And what about that person in the 911 turbo or the guy in the '99 Lotus, or the mother in the minivan that thinks a car is such a stupid thing to be proud of? They look, but do they envy me? It's just a car, one that just about any middle- or upper-class family could easily afford, if so motivated. Some people like it, many don't, but I think most of the time people are staring slack-jawed at my car, it's because they're thinking "what in the world is THAT??" It's not because they envy me. My car would be worth a LOT more if that were the case. Aaron #1506 --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, KiwiDean@xxxx wrote: > Nice balm for the ego whenever I'm driving.
