Yup, I've noticed that change in me, too. Instead of checking out the overall design of the car, I sort of critique to myself how aerodynamic or non-aerodynamic a vehicle is.
Just the other day, i was driving my Ninja 250 and i saw a new honda insight. It was like i saw a bugatti veyron, i swear. I was driving next to him checking out the interior, looking for the green dash light for ecodriving. The guy thought i was nuts
Every time i see a Kammack-like spoiler i get excited.
Then again, every time i see a person driving, by themselves, a SUV as if they are in the Garden State Parkway 1000, it grinds my gears!!
The other day i saw a humongous new Cadillac Escalade with a sticker on the back of it that said "Proud Mother of a United States Soldier". I couldn't help but think to myself HOW she is so proud that her son is over in the middle east fighting for OIL (yes, i said it, its the truth...) that she drives the most inefficient , biggest waste of resource, hunk of GM's blood sucking metal with any sense of pride?! ITS RIDICULOUS
