I'm not stranger to driving vehicles that draw crazy amounts of attention (both good and bad).
In fact, over a decade ago I used to drive this,
, and this,
.
So, taking Hyde out and watching people's reactions is quite entertaining to say the least. Sunday night, after Cin & I escorted Noshoes & April out of PA, on the way home I pulled into a rest area to tighten down the dzus screw on my hood. I had noticed it popped up while driving. As I was getting back into my car, this guy rolls up next me and starts saying something that I could not hear over my exhaust and the distance between us ... so I got out.
He said, "OMG, that MR2 is so awesome ... can I take some pics?"
I said that was fine and Cin got out. We just stood there while he took some pics. Cin whispered in my ear, "I feel like a proud parent."
lol ... that brings us to last night. I was out by myself putting some miles on the new engine and I stopped at Arby's. I pulled up to the front spot next to the handicap spot with the car pointing toward the building.
I went in an got my food and sat down. There were 2 women sitting together with 5 or 6 little girls. At one point, a little girl turned around and was facing over the back of their booth looking at the car ... and she started yelling (not really yelling, but a very loud excited kid voice) ...
"Twosrus.com, Twosrus.com, Twosrus.com"
... I called David Hawkins, owner of Twosrus, when I left Arby's and shared the smile with him. I wish I would have taped it ... it was reall cute
