Close! Northern Georgia!

 

I'm hearing banjos

 

Hahaha there's starting to be quite a few of us in the Atlanta/N. Georgia area. We should do a meetup!

 

Deliverance & Wrong Turn are fiction, right?

 

Two attractive young ladies literally hanging out the window of a car on the freeway, calling out to me waving and giving thumbs up.

 

I had 2 guys in a Porsche Boxster ask if I wanted to trade. Like that's going happen...

 

XKR passed me and waved with a big thumbs up

 

Guy at the grocery store says "You've a REALLY nice car".

He's getting into an incredibly nice Macan. Could have been a Cayenne....

I say "Yours isn't too bad either".

He yells (I'm walking into the store):

TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE! and smiles....

 

At the gas pump when a man pulls up in a 280Z in what looks to be near mint condition. I'm guessing he was early to mid 50's.

He says "damn that's a good looking car, what is it?"

I tell him.

He says "you married or single.

Me "married"

Him - "that's too bad, I mean no offense, I'm sure she's great, but I bet that car can pull some serious...(i won't say it)

said "I wouldn't know as I got the girl of my dreams before the car of my dreams, but thanks"

 

^^ wrong .....
fact - puppies (or kittens) pull the ladies

 

or kids

 

Both true!

 

it's been repeatedly proven that sports calls pull men of all ages...and that's about it

 

True story: Last week I met some guys for lunch at a mall in Nashville. Parking spaces were very narrow and every car was over the line. I got the second to last space and was also over the line...leaving no room for a guy pulling up in an SUV to sandwich in to the last space. His displeasure with me included an expression with his finger.

So, after parking his SUV, "Mr. Finger" wound up walking into the restaurant right after me! I turned to him and asked "do we have a problem?"

He said, "no man. I'm sorry. After I gave you the finger, I saw what was going on. My first impression was 'some rich a$$hole in a jaguar can't park his car'"

I said, "good...but I need to correct you...when you called me a rich a$$hole, you only got it half right. I'm not rich..."

 

I've had my F-type less than a week and wow, it sure gets noticed. I live in an area where high end sports cars are a dime a dozen but this car really grabs attention. Lots of head turning, comments on how amazing it is, etc. Today I was in a fast food drive-through and the cashier's mouth fell open. He even dropped my money. He said, "I'm sorry. I can't speak. That's the most beautiful car I've ever seen. It's seriously going to make me cry." There's so many Porches, BMWs, Mercedes, etc. around here that nobody notices them anymore. You rarely see a F-Type.

 

Buckhead? Dunwoody? Alpharetta?

 

LobsterClaws how'd you guess? You must live north of the city too. Alpharetta.

 

My daughter has just turned 13 and recently I had to collect her from school

she's suddenly very popular

 

Police car pulls up to me, with a patrol car full of officers (4 of them). They signal to me to roll down my window. I am like omg what did I do. I'm thinking they saw me take off at the previous light like a bat out of hell. Once my window was down, some cute police lady in the back yells to me, "Is that an Aston Martin!?" I say "No, its a Jaguar, but many of the design elements come from the Aston Martin". Then she says "That is a sweet *** car, can you rev the engine?". So I rev it. Then she says "That sounds amazing! Love the car!". The traffic light turns green. She rubber necks the whole time as they pull off in front of me.

 

Hahahaha I'm actually in EAV (East Atlanta Village) because I'm one of those hipster kids now, but I grew up in Roswell. The cars up there are ridiculous!
