It is hard to be invisible with these cars.

I love seeing our cars out in the public being driven like regular cars.

I put close to 200 miles on mine in the last 2 days. Good times. Now all I need is a 6 speed.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

The legal term for it is "an attractive nuisance". Nothing ever looked like them, even in the 60s, and now they really stand out. We're getting clobbered by yet another big snowstorm here today so mine's probably done for the year now. No matter, when the warm spring zephyrs start to blow here again next Spring we'll be ready, new shoes and all.

I was getting my car inspected this morning and two guys had to stop by and check it out while I was waiting.

I like it when a late model car stops next to me at a light and  nods in approval or has a smile.
These cars are like artifacts to some, given how rare they are to see actually being used for transportation instead of just recreation.

Every time I'm at the gas station or coming out of the grocery store someone is waiting to talk to me about the car. The weird part is driving on the highway and vehicles pull up next to me taking pics or videos. Or follow me for miles.

FWIW: This recent election is something that will likely allow for the continued ownership and use of these cars. Oil companies will not longer be the enemy & neither will the other masculine pursuits. I don't know about MAGA but I am hoping that america will become "America" again.

Absolutely. The crazies will keep on trying to outlaw us so at least we got a reprieve from them.

Agreed!
I was in Rio Vista, CA this past week on a business trip (we have a plant there).
While out for lunch at The Pointe restaurant I spotted this awesome 1968 Dodge Charger.
I planned to take a few pics after lunch.

When we got to it, the owner was there with the hood popped.
He was replacing the alternator, but was more than happy to tell me about the car.

He bought it 8 years ago in Illinois and did work to it including new floor pans, digital dash/modern upgrade.
It has a 383 big block with a 4 speed transmission.
Really nice car and he told me it's his only car and daily driver! Too cool!

Wow! Air, console, & stick. A 383 actually makes for a far-more reasonable ride these days.  They do look good in black...
