Best way for using Mtw

This is as close to Seattle that I want to be. She is off in the distance across the Puget Sound.

I've had my 3W for over 3 years now.

There has not been one amazing day that would make an interesting story, but almost every day out in my 3W I receive a comment or have a discussion with a person that makes me smile.
Sometimes the question or comment needs no answer.
In no particular order:

From an old white haired lady... "Cute car. Did that come out of a box?"
I get many people asking if the 3W is hand-made.

"That is the most beautiful car I've ever seen" "beautiful" and "cool" comes up a lot in the comments. "Beautiful from women, "Cool" from men

"Can I take a picture? My son and I have a contest. Who can get a picture of the most interesting car. He's never going to top this!"

A guy leaning out the passenger window of a dump truck yells. "Is that a J.P. Morgan?"

A kid on the sidewalk, about 6 years old, giving me a big grin and two thumbs up. This happens a lot.

I get a few thumbs up from bicyclists, much more from truck drivers.

A Porsche convertible was coming toward me from the opposite direction. Suddenly 4 arms shot into the air with the V sign.
95 % of motorcyclists give me the two finger V... which I return.

Here in California, we have a lot of restored 50's and 60"s cars on the road... I get the thumbs up from these guys too.

I sometimes stop at a biker gathering place in the hills. They seem to accept me immediately... I think it's the big V-twin thumper up front that's my passport.
The want to know how much horsepower, top speed, ride, do I have to wear a helmet, how does it handle, how is it registered... etc.
I invariably get a grin from them when I tell them I'm too old for 2 wheels now, and I would rather be sliding sideways on a wet road on 3 wheels instead of two.

One of the biker ladies wanted her picture taken with the Morgan.. and me too. I felt like a celebrity.

I was at a gas station and a guy came running up to the Morgan. He said "when I heard that engine I knew there was something cool there" I was running straight pipes at the time.

And, sometimes, it's just a pleasant conversation with a stranger... nothing amazing, just entertaining.

I can park my 3W next to a new Ferrari and everyone wants to know about the Morgan. It's a great conversation starter.

Shortly after I bought my machine in 2018 I attended a local European car show event. Ended up parked next to a new bright orange Lamborghini Aventador, recently acquired by a successful young entrepreneur who had just sold his startup for big bucks. We chatted throughout the show, but I was constantly interrupted by folks wanting to know about the Morgan. As we were packing up at the end, he commented : "I can't believe how much attention that thing gets compared to mine. And the women really seem to like it." Then somewhat wistfully..."I could have saved 350 grand...."

If I were a younger man and single I would say it was the best dating APP one could purchase😊

That is funny but yes you get a lot of attention, which I did not expect prior to buying one. I am pretty private but find the excitement the Morgan brings to people as good fun. I pulled into a gas station one day and a guy came running up with his son, he apparently passed me going the other way and did a u turn and chased me down following me for 15 minutes to catch up. It was a bit crazy.

My wife thinks I wanted the attention. The good news is most of the women that take interest are older so my wife is a good sport.
