Part 1:
My car was just about a month old last spring, and already working on the first 4K KM, Was on another road trip with my baby sister who was 59 Yrs old visiting her 2 brothers(both BRZ owners) out east. On the highway getting back close to home I let her drive some till the gas would force the required Gas/Food/Purge stop.
She noted there was a car following her for sometime and thought if strange it had slowed to our pace as it came up to us quite a bit faster. I’m absorbed with the music playing sitting cosy low on my side. Sis said it is finally going to pass. An old Seven gen CiViC with 3 younger girls hanging out the windows very slowly passing & were waving frantically with approval… at us.
My sister looked at me and said See they were impressed an old grey haired grandma can still have one of these…
Part 2:
I managed to make it way out west as well later last year with the BRZ, Got to my sister’s place and her daughter somehow liked the color a LOT and asked if she could practice her manual skills and since we had to pick someone at the airport anyhow, so I passed her the Key fob, she promptly stalled if a few times with a smile on her face, finally caught on to rev some as it was not her moms CrossTreck & took off with quite the wheel spin. She is normally the preferred driver for the large RED Fire trucks around her town up in northern BC as the guys are just not as good with the equipment, so I forgave her.
Last tine I had girls or anyone wave at me for a car was back in 1983 driving like gramps slow in a brand new Prelude I had just picked up…
