I get lots of thumbs up and " love your car " comments from beggars on the street corners.
( Is that a bad thing ? )
Kids like the car too, but parents are quick to herd them away from "the weird guy".
Kids especially like the shark mouth front end and the wheels.
People go out of their way to "bleep" their car alarms when I'm out working on the car.
They also look down and avoid eye contact.
Almost always with a smirk on their face.
After two comments about the car looking like a Batmobile, I decided to play on that a bit and added a bat tail on the end of the Kammback.
Much to my surprise, my neighbor knew that the Kammback was for aerodynamics right away, and mentioned something he had seen online on a Geo Metro.
( Darin - IT'S WORKING �� )
He has been friendly, but likes to make fun of what I'm doing.
My other neigbor ( I live in apartments ) also knew it was for aerodynamics, since he rides bikes a lot.
I was asked how many pennies in fuel i had saved with the mods.
They both drive cars with bike racks. One is kept loaded with stuff like camping gear year round.
I mentioned the aero penalty.
Something makes me think they decided to leave it on just for spite.
