I KNOW, I get bothered all the time about the Caravan. "How do those sliding doors work?"
"Sweet ride! but I like the Aerostar better." Jeez! So annoying.
That's weird, I never make a comment to someone I don't know unless it's postive. Maybe (hopefully) they are just questions because it is so unique. People ask me questions about a new cell phone, purse, shirt, accessory etc..I am donning. Sometimes, they don't outright say that they love it- but I know it's because they like it or want to copy the coolness.
My first thought when I met Ken and he had it out with him that night was- when are you going to give me a ride?- (he was my friends older brother so I wasn't being slutty) And I'm kind of an earthy spirtual type, but never jealous because of monetary posessions. I did get a little jealous of the H2 when I realized people were looking at the H2 and not me though.
Bad and outright ugly comments are no doubt jealousy or environmental (because of the H2's symbolism).
People are strange, treat each individual encounter as you see fit. If you are sick and tired of answering technical questions on a particular day- just make like you speak a different language or something.
