Staring Can Be Dangerous
I sometimes notice people staring at my car, but didn't really think the car had so much intrigue as to actually make other drivers forget how to drive.
I'm coming back from breakfast this morning. I reach the intersection to turn of to my subdivision. Traffic begins to slow down in both the left and right hand driving lanes so I get into the center turning lane to make my left hand turn. Most traffic in the lanes is completely stopped.
Then it happens. The female driver of the car even with me is gauking at my car. She forgot to apply her breaks and hit the white Saturn that was in front of her.
I stopped to see if everyone was OK (It sounded like a pretty hard hit). Everyone was fine. There was only a small amount of damage to the front of the girls car who hit the Saturn. She was driving a somewhat new dark blue Trans AM.
She stated that she was just staring at my sunroof and the look of my car. She thought I was driving an "awesome car". I said that I appreciated the fact that she liked the car, but "Too bad you weren't admiring the Saturn" :p
All's well that ends well... I might just stay in for the day

I wish there's the pano option for the C sedan like the E-class.

She wasn't anything to really look at. I didn't bother getting her number. :p
She was just a bit too oblivious to her surroundings...
I can't imagine dating or going out with anyone that careless.
