Last night I visited an old friend I had not seen for more than a year. The woman in question lives in a not to well-known neighbourhood so I was of course very watchful where I parked my car. When I left the girlfriend around 23:30 hours there where three you kids (around 18 I think) standing around my NSX, looking at me. When I disabled the alarm of the car they where like "Yeah, it is his car," and then started asking questions. They all knew exactly what a NSX is and were also familiar with some of its technical details so I answered all of their questions and told them a little more about the car. We (I) talked about how the NSX was developed, how it was build, about handling and balance, performance, modification and a lot more. I was definately talking to a very perceptive and interested audience (always nice). Actually, on occasion, other people walking people stopped to listen and ask additional questions before walking on. In the end, our talks last almost to 1 a.m. in the morning before I ended it and (finally) went home.
I was a bit surprised that these kids knew the NSX since the car is virtually unknown to most people where I live.
This was not the first time I have found that looks can be deceiving. I have experienced simply rude or even insulting comments in the past from well-dressed people who at first site one would expect to belong to the 'upper-class'. Or have such people display a lack of knowledge about the NSX or cars in general while pretending to know it all at the same time. In this case it was just the opposite. Three kids which one would be weary of at first site seeing them around your car turning out to be interested and perceptive youngsters.

Especially late teens early twenties...mainly because I think Cars are a very influential part of people's lives at that age. I personallly am also near that age group, and many times surprise people with my vast car knowledge. Amazing what the Internet can do for you ahahah!
