There are billions of people on the planet, each has a unique persona about him or her and would like to be seen as an individual. However that persona is very well hidden beneath the metal roof and doors of a vehicle and we tend to think of all drivers as GI Joe and GI Jane, until we look over at the person next to us at the light.
We decided to group them as follows.
AB Person - person who just uses a vehicle to get from point A to point B, doesn’t care what it is, what it looks like or what is the volumetric efficiency of the motor is they just want it to drive. Often distinguished by defying the laws of physics by managing to secure nearly every body part to the vehicle with duct tape and bungee cords and still managing a current inspection sticker. You may think they are admiring the car when they are looking, but they are just shaking their heads at the fact that you’ve spend that money on the car instead of scratch offs.
ABS Person - typical driver who wants to get from point A to point B but in comfort. As the name applies looks for cars with such features as ABS, Auto Transmission, gadgets here and there and a car generally less then 8 years old. Often can be seen talking on their cellphone, reading, drinking coffee and checking themselves out in the rearview - all at the same time. Yep, it’s “That guy” who we all love to hate. Will not even notice your car, even if it was driving by on fire with a wheel missing.
Enthusiast on paper - a driver with extensive knowledge of OEM makes and models, hp output figures, can do a thing or two with a wrench besides stripping bolts and has some sort of performance oriented vehicle.
Sounds good… on paper.
Unfortunately they tend to be driving this
While in their mind, they assume they have
For some reason they really think that whatever platform they have is far superior to everything else out there and that it will be done next spring with all the new parts they’ve purchased off an Ebay special.
Will appreciate and admire your car if it’s done right, but still think it’s a bad platform.
Lastly there is us, the car people - *to be added.
Just a quick draft/blotted.
