One thing I forgot to write about also, was that I have never had more attention in my life. I'd say it's nearly one car in four whose occupant(s) visibly lose their mind at the sight of it. Common behaviors include:
-At a stop, people getting out of their car and approaching, wanting to talk about it. E.g. "Why'd you do that to that car, man?"
-Drivers visibly enunciating "what in the ****?"
-Drivers mouths hanging open
-Drivers breaking into a huge grin and waving their hands at me
-Children plastering their faces against windows
-Cars getting behind me for ~45 seconds, then getting beside me and very slowly passing
-Cars passing, then braking, then passing again
-Truckers pulling their horns
-Most commonly of all, people pointing cellphones. In 6 hours yesterday I might have made on social media posts of over 1000 Facebook or Instagram or whatever else the kids are using these days.

Just to name a few. It's like I'm permanently on parade.
