This was kind of weird, I kind of think it was partly my fault. I'll run you guys down on what happened.
I was driving through the base about to head out to the car wash, to give the celi a once over, when I see a silver celica off to the left pulling out of a barracks parking lot. I admit I was alittle heavy on the gas when I approached his car but I slowed down alot before I got close to him, he probably thought I was a crazed driver. I called out to him before he could pull out. He turned and followed me back into the parking lot. I started by talking to him about a local car club that me and some friends are starting. He gave me a kind of blank look when I started talking about engines and mods. I then told him about this site and how not that many people love the 6gc and he would find most of them here plus all he wanted to know about his car. He said he just bought the car today and was going to drive it around, hint he never responded about anything I said. He then said that he likes what I did to the car and said he was in a rush, then shook my hand and took off. I kind of felt that he thought I was going to throw a sales pitch into the conversation. All I wanted to do was make a friend with someone who had the same interest in cars. It was weird how he just listened to what I said and never really responded. The whole meeting lasted about 15 minutes but it left me with kind of a jackass feeling. Just wanted to share this awkward experience and see if anyone else had something similar happen to them. |

I talked to that guy again. It turns out I did spook'em. He told me that he thought I was a crazed street racer. While not entirely true
 , I can see why. He said I overwhelmed him. He really didn't know that much about cars and just felt like he didn't have much to add to all my babbling. Sort of like what I'm doing now  . Anyway, he's cool and I directed him here.
