Black Gold, Recaro 182
So, today as I do most Saturdays I set about cleaning my Black Gold 182 and my mint 14 year old diamond black Cavalier Sri. As most owners of black cars out there know, they get pretty dirty very easily and living in the country doesn't help matters.
When I was packing all my cleaning stuff up my neighbours daughter who is probably only about 5 walks past me and says "my dad thinks you are an idiot". I told her that I didn't think that was a very nice thing to say and she walked off.
I started to think about what she had said and thought that it was a bad thing to say especially as they have only lived there for a month or so and we don't even know each other. Now, it's not like I live in a rough area where you get beaten up for wearing the wrong trainers, I live in a nice house, nice area and about as rural as you can get.
After calming down I decided to go and find out what was going on so calmly knocked on my neighbours door and the girls mother answered. I basically said "Hi, your daughter came up to me earlier when I was washing my car and said that your husband thinks i'm an idiot" She looked pretty shocked and didn't really say much so I finished with "Can you find out if there is a problem and come and let me know what it is". It's now 2 hours later and I haven't had an apology or heard anything.
Now, after thinking about it, does this guy think I am an idiot because I wash my cars every Saturday and if so what's so wrong with that? I was hoping to PC my Cavalier tomorrow but now I think that he thinks I am an idiot for polishing my Cavalier. It's NOT like it is some rusty wreck of a car with a noisy exhaust, neon lights and twin subs in the boot that breaks down every 5 minutes. I have had this car for most of its life, it is immaculate and in the same condition it was when it came out of the factory so what is so wrong with taking pride in something you are proud of and want to look after and preserve for the future. Alright, I know its a Cavalier but how many original, mint Cavaliers do you see on the roads these days?
I would be interested to know peoples thoughts...
