Just a few days ago a guy at work asked me if I have a Mini Cooper. I said nope. He says," oh cause I saw a guy in a Mini that I thought was you". So I show him a picture of the TA and I say, "if you see this car around, that's me". Then he asks "what kind of mileage does it get"? I laughed and said "if that's your first question about that car then I don't know what to say". The guy is probably around 25 and drives a Subaru. Couldn't have cared less about the TA.
What I see that's even more alarming is the lack of interest in driving period among youth. When I was a teenager, one of the things we all wanted most was a car. Lots of young people these days have no interest in driving. Maybe it's the cost of the car and the insurance or maybe other factors, I don't know but it does surprise me.
