Maybe it's the tail and it's red ..... woman (my age ) are always giving me the stare with a smile.

The kids compliment the M3 far more than the 911.

Okay - not a word of a lie - and it's actually a bit embarassing.

On St Patrick's day - I was driving north on Avenue Road about 10pm - heading to hockey. There had been much revelry on the streets that night - the town just seemed in a party mood.

I pulled over to reply to an email (being safe and all) and as I'm concentrating - there's a knock on the passenger window. I glance up in a valley of gorgeous 20-somthing-year old clevage falling out of a white tank top.

I roll the window down and this beautiful blond face leans in - clearly "happy with beer" but not outrageously sloshed. I'm shocked and figure - she's lost, needs a light etc. She says, "Wow - what a great car!"

I stammer out a "thanks" and there's an awkward pause. (This is the part where any single guy or savvy player would say, "Wanna ride?")

She then asks - "What year?" " '91" I reply - still totally caught off guard, and frankly now agog at how cute she is.

She says, "Awesome" and perhaps sensing I'm NOT actually gonna offer the E-ticket ride, stands up and continues walking up the street. (reading this over - you'd say - clearly a "working girl" - but no - nothing about this girl suggested that (esp the location) - she was cleary just a happy party-goer who dug the air-cooled's - on her way home)

Not being single nor a player - I steady myself - complete my email and head north - still in utter disbelief and shock.

No - the guys at hockey didn't believe me either. But its true - so I guess it CAN happen.

RK, great story... I believe it! I think it happens to those that aren't "out hunting". I would think that in general girls, like the one in your story, are turned off by guys who think they're hot **** out in their nice cars cruising through Yorkville...

So if you're out "hunting"... pull over and ignore them!

She and her friends term this activity as "Loser Laps" Obviously, this activity is counterproductive.
You can say the same about girls in Yorkville. They're generally alone, dress provocatively, walking in their high heel stilletos to attract attention from men with money.

^ the z's were such a pretty car. my buddy Justin had a silver one (exactly same year as yours). It was slow as the tide by todays standards but it was just sooo pretty.

This story could have ended with a "Happy Ending", no pun intended, then it would have never been posted. Thankfully it didn't.

My guess is that the cruise in the p-car is something that is rooted in our teen years. I know for me, every time i drive it feels like i'm 18.
The difference being, now, stilletos are off limits, due to the risk of putting a hole in the carpet. (or headliner!!)
