I'll never be cool
I thought I would take the '86 coupe out for a little spin before it got hot today, so I drove up to Del Mar on the coast and back home. Had the stereo on and windows down, just lovely.
I would come to a stop sign and folks would look my way, if figured they were looking at my way cool car.
Well they were. When I reduced the volume of AC/DC I realized that one of the ball joints was squeaking so bad you could hear fifty feet away.
Fifty eight years later and I still haven't figured out how to be cool. I wonder, what was McQueens secret?........ Hmmmmm

I know what you mean.
My friends ask me 'You must get a lot of chicks with that car.'. I tell them, 'nope, it only attracts middle aged men who drive minivans.'
Yet a honda with a big plastic wing and some ebay stickers on it attracts chicks. I don't get it. Of course I bought the car for me and I enjoy it.....speaking of which, I think I will cruise around today for no reason.

Can any of you identify the car I am sitting in?, that is me in the buzz cut in the center. I always thought it was an MG but someone pointed out there are no running boards. This car is a wider body. Besides for not being cool I am clueless as to the car I was in. And I thought I knew cars. Any thoughts my European friends?

My friend's 964 C4 in Arrest Me Red (aka Guard's Red), glowing like it had plutonium in the paint, had a leak in an oil coolant line... it dripped on the exhaust and the car had a cloud of smoke coming out from under the rear fender. We pulled up to the light, the guy in the car next to us rolled down the window....
"Hey, man, your Ferrari is on fire" were the last words we heard as he pulled away. It's hard to be cool.

But in the end....I feel cool! and that's all that matters.
Just like when I am drunk on the dance floor....I feel cool even though I look like a complete fool!

This makes me consider my brakes. My pads squeal like a pig when they're cool, and when I pull up to stoplights sometimes, I'm sure people think the brakes barely work. If only they knew the truth...

Dang, I thought this was an AC thread...
The difference between Bullit and The Pink Panther isn't a whole lot. McQueen screws up through the whole movie, even wrecks a car, and lets his girlfriend see some bad stuff. But he acts serious, pretends it's normal, and knows what fork to use at the dinner table. Like a cat that did not land on it's feet, he gets up and walks away like nothing happened.
Instector Clouseau, OTOH, could turn dropping a fork into an eternity of self concious bumbling.
I see you somewhere in the middle, Like Chevy Chase as Fletch.
