Extremely odd encounter !

Post by Sandy »

Wife & I today, on the way to a 60th Anniversary party at a local towns Synagogue, comemmorating 60 years.

So, I am about 3 miles away (8 miles total) and I am driving wife's 2001 Jeep Cherokee Limited 4X4 Wagon. I am waiting at a red light - an extremely loooong red light as it's five (5) corners, like the ponts on a star. I am allready there for at least 2 & 1/2 minutes waiting. I am alone. No other cars waiting with me. Suddenly, seemingly from outta nowhere, a drop-dead georgous, flawless 2009 or 8 or 7 Black Mustang convert with a padded roll bar, and rumbling pulls up on my right side. It's a real honest-to-goodness STEEDA - black with (I think) grey leather.
We had our A/C on so I quickly lower my wife's window and compliment the car, telling him, that's the fist steeda I have seen on the road. He is about my age, or between 56 & 62 somewhere. He answers that he just bought it to celebrate his beating colon cancer ! Oh my God, just like me,
(but no Steeda here). :cry: I shout over to him that I have an ascMclaren and did he ever hear of them? Of course he hadn't.
I wanted to get his name and meet up with him some day, but the lite turned as did he, and he was off! What a beauty, and what a sound!
After he turned, my wife said something that I had allready thought.
In a way, it was a bit upsetting, as i had thought it but did not say it...
Wife said, "He likes the cars you like and did you notice how much he looked like you?! Yes, I did :shock: I mean, really, he looked like he coulda been my brother - 'Ya, THAT much alike.

I am not grey-haired, it's dark brown, and NO balding! YET, I suspect any day now! :shock: He had salt & pepper hair, like 50/50 brown/gray and a recedeing hairline, but our faces were 90% identical.
ALSO we had the same station on the stereo.

Those Steeda(s) are really nice, if you have never seen one, you have missed somthing good!

Yes they are, but they are getting their @$$ handed to them, at the dinner-plate of Cadillac's CTS-V with 556 horsepower.
