...Sometimes it is just the novelty of seeing something that takes you back. I have also had it with my Triumph. The biggest thrill there was at an IRL race when a guy in a high$$ Porsche spotted my GT6 in the parking lot, locked his brakes & came over to talk nostalgia about his college days when he had one. Same with the Mav. Mustangs & Camaros are nice cars, but a dime a dozen. Mavs are unusual enough to get attention.
: I am driving my Mav into a gas station, store or where ever and people come up to me and start talking about when they were in high school or when their parents owned one etc, etc. I have a Classic Mustang as well and frankly, I have it as concours ready as I intend to, while the Mav is a 20 footer but still gets more attention.
: Tells me that the Mav is coming into it's own as a classic car.
: BTW Doesn't the conversation always start out with, "I haven't seen one of those in years."
