Fast Cars, Shy Boys, and the Really Cute Girls.

Some of you may be able to relate to this story.  Imagine a real shy boy, finally finds himself in high school, trying his best to navigate the complicated social scene.  Now this guy is a real introvert, a loner, except for a few friends developed since grade school. Much too shy to approach girls, especially those really cute ones he admires from afar.
Now, as luck would have it, somehow he gets a pretty cool car. Some of the guys take notice, and most importantly, some of the girls. These are the girls who didn't used to know who he was. They actually come up to him, and make a comment like "nice car", and walk away, flashing one of those cute, over the shoulder smiles as they go. Wow, this is different. A guy could get used to this.
Over the next months, and years, as the cars get "cooler", and the attention ramps up, he actually develops enough confidence to talk to these girls, and even ask one out once in awhile. The shy guy finds that he is now actually friends with some of those really cute girls. All because he had a car?
I'm not sure if that is still the case, but that's how it was, back in the day. Here is a link, if you would like to check out my book; "Grab Some Gears"
