I have owned all manner of cars over the years including hot rods, muscle cars and all types of sports cars. Nothing gets more attention than a microcar. People who are oblivious to GT3s and Hemi Cudas will flock to a micro to figure out what it is. Small children are especially drawn to the micros, probably because they are more their size. You will get more smiles, waves and thumps up per mile than anything else on the road. And a side benefit, nobody thinks you're aloof or stuck up for owning/driving a micro. I did the Porsche thing for many years, and dreaded telling non-car people that I owned one. \r\n\r\nI apologize for the soapbox here, but if you are a true car person, you owe it to yourself to own a microcar at some point.
