Yes, my car is dirty. So what's your point?

What is this, national Make Faces at the Funny-Looking Car Day?

Driving home from my parents house, somebody rolled down the passenger window of his car and hung half-out of it, making funny faces and gestures at what I thought was my car. After the light, I saw somebody on the other side of my car doing it. Being in the center lane, I made mental jump that they were actually aiming for each other, and I just happened to be in the middle.

Then, a mile or two down the road, a third car comes up in the left lane, and there's somebody sticking out his tongue and waggling his fingers at me from the rear passenger seat. Now, I know I drive a PT Cruiser, and while I think they're all kinds of funky and just frickin' awesome, to some people, they're just funny-looking. But . . . do you usually hang out a window in traffic on a six-lane road just to look funny back?

Maybe it was the dirt. I park in a gravel lot gone heavily to dirt, so I don't even try to keep the car clean, just waxed.
