Actually the luxury cars are my daily drivers and touring cars. I don't understand them, so I take them to a nice man who does.
The Loti? very, very simple. we do the work that needs doing.

Oh yeah, Lotus is fine, very fine! In my car world, cell off when in the car, just me and the car and the experience. I read a book about the psychology of driving. They said owners of such cars who go in for service, ask what it needs and if their is anything they can do. However, luxury car owners get mad that the car failed them. My babies get what they need, as they do an admirable job. Nothing on their paint, no trash in the car, and no silly add ons.

Nice. I saw someone take a picture of my Who is John Galt bumper sticker. More of us out there than we realize.

:)

if you go to my home page and scroll down a bit, I have a photo of the rear bumper of my car. Three bumper stickers on the gray background...

A week or two ago I suddenly realized why some people would pull up to a light with me but "hang back" a bit more than a car length from the "stop line." Then it hit me... They were reading the back of my car! http://www.plusaf.com/

here's an example of what I think you mean: Lotus Europa twin cam 1972 Car Constructors Championship #29 of 30. It is designed by one person to do one thing, and do it very, very well: move 1 or 2 people [of the right size] very quickly. It does not carry luggage, there are no cup holders and it does have a mind of its own about destinations.
no bumper stickers

I have the "John Galt" bumper sticker on the tailgate of my car, and I am amazed how many folks ask ""Who IS John Galt?". Appropriate answer? "Go read a book called Atlas Shrugged,....it's a secret, but you'll find him there.
Also ENJOY folks who pull up at a light and give you the 'thumbs up',....we are out there!!

I have the "Who is John Galt?" bumper sticker on my car in here in Australia. Interesting comments often follow.

hhhmmm good blood line lol. You're right...group everything and tracking everything.. it has to be stopped.

The uncles were Hestons, as in relatives of Charleton Heston. Must be genetic, or just the common sense of working men and women who lived at a time when they still remembered people like Hitler. When I was young, if I had a problem, I would go to Dad, who would listen, and then ask, "What are you going to do about it." He never doubted I knew what to do, as that is how I was raised, to be responsible and think for myself. Schools are robbing kids of that ability, it is considered unacceptable, in fact. Group think, group projects, group grades, shared school supplies, and group blame. Meanwhile, Gates will get rich because his software will be the one tracking the students and helping to brainwash them under Common Core. Somehow, producer or not, what he is doing seems evil and part of the one world, wipe out part of the population (millions) group.

Wow..your family sounds great and I those are some stellar quotes!
Piss on the crowd! I walk alone! I want that bumper sticker. :)

You have expressed exactly what my friends and I have found. We try to tell them what to watch out for, and they say, happy thoughts only, no truth. They say they just cannot think about it, too depressing. The worst are the ones who don't care what the schools are doing to their own kids. They don't want to rock the boat or call attention for themselves. I was raised to question and object, after thinking, thus the nickname given by my Dad years ago, Stormi. I had colorful uncles as well with philosophies like, "Piss on the crowd, I'll walk alone", and "Be sure you're right then go ahead." At school, kids are hearing collectivist thoughts and chanting, "There is no I in team." I told my our daughter there were a lot of I's in team, or there were no brains and thus no ideas. The one that gets is is, "They can't do that, we have a Constitution." Obviously, they never heard of executive orders.

I'm fascinated daily by the lack of interest. People's main concern is being comfortable... and that includes their thoughts too...anything resemble something uncomfortable to think about..it get's shoved in the 'denial' file. That goes for topics of discussion, book lists, current events...they just avoid ALL of it. Choosing to be in the dark...I can't wrap my head around it. People disappoint me beyond words.

I know, and no one wanted a wake up call. Over 15 years ago, our highly industrial town was adrift in TQM (total quality management), which spread to the schools. Talking with my brother, I was telling him it was a Delphi Technique type thing at best, and sounded communist. A history buff, he urged me to check out Mao's Little Red Book. It did not take a rocket scientist to see the similarities to Mao. I even wrote an article in the newspaper. Ultimately, it proved a dismal failure, being the slowest way to get anything done, with business schools abandoning it while it was being implemented here.It was also a scam, a way to make workers think they were calling the shots. At the same time, outcome based education was being put in the schools, forerunner of Common Core. Everything was going in the wrong direction. Soccer moms were not at all interested, CEOs would not read, and obviously never read history. they blundered along happily into communist territory. A few people wake up at some point, but it is a tough fight. Back then, I had hope people would wake up and turn toward reason, now, not so much.

That was perfect! I'm with you :) And I'm not sure, but it's been brewing for decades and now we are here with a nearly impossible task on our hands... :( Waking the dead.

The list of people who drive me nuts is quite long. We used to get status seekers in Corvette club, which was mostly real car people. They rarely came more than once or twice, once they saw we were into cars, not what they had or were. Liberals drive me nuts, also socialists, people who have no desire to learn, yuppie sophisticates (layer on layer of unreality), people who would rather live off government than work, religious zealots. I am sure there are more. I guess having lived for years in the West for years, I expect too much of people.Ohio is a hotbed of yuppies who think they are so smart but refuse to read. People who want to be on school boards but know nothing of first outcome based ed, and now Common Core, People who serve on councils and control property rights, but refuse to learn about UN Agenda 21, which will strip those rights. Some days you wonder when common sense died. Does anyone believe there is a turning point, or is it all too far gone?.

After the remarks from Sherman - I will now go Denver!

Well...I'm no NMA, That's for sure....I just calls 'em likes I sees 'em. :)

Perfect.

I am a classic. If you had an artistic eye...

Mainly asking what it means. I usually use the line "read the book".

That's a good idea.

A lot of people must drive you nuts then. lol

You're....old.
