Today at work I had my mind blown. I work in a doctors office and many of the doctors have really nice cars. I started talking to the one doctor about his car. Its an audi s5 and he had it built to his liking. I was telling him how beautiful I thought it was. Later, he went out to put the top up before it started to rain so I ran out and asked him if he could pop his hood for me so I could see the engine. He looked at me with a shameful face and said "sure, but I have no idea how to pop it" he than gave me his manual and asked me to help him. I popped it and admired it for a little while. Then, One of the other doctors came out and asked us what we were doing and talked to us a bit. Later, the doctor that came out to talk to us came to me and said he was jealous I didn't ask to see his engine so I said "sure, I'd love to see it".He has a mercedes E350. As we start walking to his car he tells me "btw, I don't know how to pop my hood either" I just couldn't believe it. He took a few minutes to try and figure it out but I just walked over and popped it for him. I told another doctor my disbelief that they couldn't pop their hood. That doctor, a third doctor laughed and said "I can't pop mine". I was shocked. I mean I understand these are brand new cars but I just imagined that popping a hood was a simple task and after spending that much money you may just want to simply admirer your engine.
Anyway, I just wanted to share because I thought maybe someone else could appreciate how shocked I was that these people have these beautiful cars and have never looked at their engine. They also have never washed their own cars. If I spent that much money on a car I know for sure no one else would be washing it or touching it and that I would be washing it often. Any thoughts? -------------------- |
