Re: Comments you hear
If the uninitiated, non-enthusiast public, like many people seem to be, still think a 20 year old car in less than pristine condition still looks brand new, and futuristic today... I think there may be some value in that random-sample, non-enthusiast opinion.
I ask my wife, (again, who readily admits she can't pick out one car from another) what she thinks about various cars solely on first impression of looks alone, just so that I can gauge what non-enthusiasts think about cars. I know what I think about them, but I am very much an enthusiast, and know what I like and why. But I know that I am not like most people.
She just has absorbed enough to answer basic questions about the SVX because we have one, and I talk about it so much.
Conversely, my wife can identify plants and trees on first glance, like I can identify cars, and I am so far away from a green thumb, my thumbs might actually be considered red, if not grease-embedded black.
