I saw an old guy driving a Mercedes wearing a monocle.
Driving to work on Thursday, I glance over at a redlight and see a guy between 50-60 years old wearing a monocle. Yes, a monocle, that one eyed glass with the chain attached to it. Now I have slightly tinted windows and I just stared, I know its rude, but seriously a MONOCLE, what the hell aren't those for reading only also?

So what crazy things have you seen people doing or wearing while in their car and you noticed.

Haha nice responses.

I also saw a guy with some year beretta wearing racing gloves that said "Too" on one hand and "Fast" on the other. This was about 15 years ago but I'll never forget that moment.

I'm proud to say this thread wasn't created by a 3G TL owner.

^It was still probably originally posted in 3G . Whether they own a 3G or not, they seem to know to go there.

It's a hard style to pull off. You need a sword and a chest full of medals in my opinion.

I miss my '06 sometimes, but definitely not the idiots that started populating the 3G section after the car became more "affordable."

Couldn't resist. I apologize.

I saw an old guy with a mustache smoking a giant stogie in his S600 once. No monocle though.

When I lived in Virginia, there was a nearly 90 year old man who had a yellow Integra Type R. I was jealous that he had that car and could still drive it
