I happen to love the GTO's styling, but we all know the rap against it is that it's allegedly bland and doesn't stand out.
Well, dadgummit if I didn't just concede that point to the critics!
I was on my way home a couple days ago, creeping along in heavy traffic, when a red '04 GTO motored past in the opposite direction. The driver waved at me. We were nearly doorhandle-to-doorhandle, and I nearly didn't notice this kindred spirit!
Fortunately I recovered my senses in the nick of time and waved back, but I had to laugh at myself. What a dork.
But I guess I also proved that we Goat-herders really do fly under the radar. I also realized what a rarity it is to see a GTO versus other sports/sporty cars. On that very same commute--heck, within the same mile-long section of city block where I spotted the GTO--I saw no fewer than three C5 Corvettes.
Anyway, Mr. Red '04 GTO, if you're out there, I'm sorry I took my sweet time waving back. I'll try to pay more attention.
