My first encounter that I vividly remember was at a Lowe's in San Antonio the first full day I had it, where a guy was ranting (both myself and Mike didn't know what he was talking about at first, thought he was drunk, talking to himself) about his $50K truck compare to this (garbled) $30K piece of Jap crap, uninteilligible, etc.etc. It did kinda scary both of us, since once we made eye contact with the guy it was apparent that we needed to "git gone", which we did. I am not a confrontational person for no reason, so this took us back both a bit. People nowadays have killed or hurt for less ya know! Sad, really...
Generally pleasant would be the majority of encounters, though. One guy in an Avalanche damn near ran me off the road to ask me "how is it???" That I can handle, the other, whew, not a fun thing. Anyway, glad we're talking about this. Very curious, the whole scenario. The blogs just blew me away though. Jeez, these are supposed to be "car people"!
Never thought I might have to fight for a piece of inanimate machinery, albeit, one fine piece of machinery.
