I know it sure hasn't made ME nice.
Today I had a full school bus load of middle age school kids waving at me/Zoomer. Weird. But, I waved back.
And on Sunday this last week ... an older man in an old beat up station wagon stopped next to me at a light and honked. I was a bit nervous to look over but, I did ... he rolled down his window and I mine and he asked me how much 'those Volkswagens run'. (cost) ... I told him between 17 and 30 new. :O He said thank you and told me I have a very nice bug. Then the light changed. :P
