popular with the old folks

I just had another older lady stop me to ask about my car today. I've noticed that people over retirement age seem to like my car. Ladies with walkers on their way to church, old guys smoking outside of nursing homes, elderly patients in hospital parking lots... they all give my car compliments. Why are most of my admirers over 65?

Wisdom !

It IS a nice car in it's own right. They do not have to be told so by reading endless advertising blurb etc.

I figure they've seen so many cars in their lifetime that it's flattering if they like mine.

I seriously doubt it, that's kind of a scary thought.

I purchased my 92 LSI new in 1992 when I was 58 years old.
Was not ready for a Buick.

Attracting the ladies

Three girls crammed into one drive-thru window talking to me...

It MAY be the SVX, but I'd rather think it the "Just For Men" hair color....
