Up here we don't have the freeway issue
I'm 50 miles from any freeway
we have far less population here in the sticks
I don't have too many of the reg. inner-shitty drivers issues...
I do get crowds in parking lots
or outside the parts store, someone is always interested
I'm usually polite, you don't see classic cars that much here...
It's far more the nice 4x4's & lots of cool Jeeps etc., more than classics...
IMO people tailgate always, no matter what I drive
it's crazy, everyone is in a damn hurry
or on their damn phones or texting, putting on make up eating etc.
more noticeable especially when towing a trailer, it's crazy...
The little kids love these older cars
seems more than the parents
(the generation behind US/me, I think they think it's a gas guzzler
& a waste, they like their Jap Crap, Camary, Yota PU or some SUV, the older ones
seems are in their Caddys, just shake their head, wonder why ?, think I'm stupid)
When driving a classic like my 68 RR,
now back to it's org. bright Surf Turquoise Metallic
wasn't as bad when it was Ultra flat Black for a decade
it was much more stealthy, not in your face as much...
(it's worse especially when I had an open trailer, racecar in tow)
IMO seems some people like to stay along side of you
& get a longer/better look, wave or thumbs up etc.
especially when driving classic cars...
You really need to be eyes for both cars,
they aren't paying the attention they need to the road ahead...
I drive really defensively in all my cars/trucks,
no matter if it's a classic or my DD
