Ever see your G3 from a new angle?

This morning I had to meet some faculty colleagues to discuss a new class I'll be co-teaching in a few weeks. We met for coffee/tea at a local coffeehouse/cafe in a very cool little town.

I parallel parked [Side note: First time I wish I had a V, just to impress the locals!] my Barcelona Red G3 SR/SC alongside the passenger-side curb on a one-way, three lane road in front of an herbal/massageoil/homeopathic store (it's, just that kind of town- in fact, it's officially a "nuclear free zone"). I like the town, it's quaint, sophistacated, hip and very, very, very liberal. I could have parallel parked two spaces ahead and would have been in front of a blue G2 with HOV stickers, but I took the first space on the busy street that was available. I was a bit worried about the beat-up truck behind me clipping my driver side rear fender/tail light when he exited as I negotiated the parallel parking, but saw in my sideview mirror the driver was sporting long dreadlocks and a striped beanie cap...so I figured he was not the hurtin kind. Stereotypes be what they will.

So, to make a long story short, after an hour-long, very productive meeting (Earl Grey, in case you're wondering), I returned to my car. As I walked down the sidewalk I saw my car from a totally different perspective.. I initially didn't recognize it. The black glass moonroof and solar roof struck me as so different than I've ever seen it as before. I almost always approach my car from the rear, at home and at work...and this was the first time I've approached it from the front. I swear, I didn't recognize it at first...but still immediately though, "Hey baby, you're sweet- but where's my car?"

It was a weird sort of disconnect that made me appreciate my G3 from a totally different perspective, literally.

Anyone else?
