Here's one of my experiences.
During the CAA last year, Jake from Eurocharged was coming in and I chose to meet him at the exit ramp and lead him in to the HOTEL and our factory.
So for about 20 minutes I am on the side of the road. Top down on my wel ldetailed freshly washed and waxed Crossie roadster.
Quite a few guys and at least four pretty women stopped by in Vettes and other sproty cars, just to see if this ugly old fart needed some help.

Yeah, they stopped by to see the car.
I have been stopped at the same place with my old 95 Dodge truck and had no one give a spit about it.
These cars are better babe magnets than a puppy.
