Car Watching better than Whale Watching?

People spend their time with a range of things. What is fun for the one might not be as interesting for the other. I, myself, enjoy myself sometimes sitting in a street cafe and watching the passing cars. Not only does this allow me to get a feel what people are driving these days, but it also triggers ideas and initiatives. Of course a lot of the cars that pass by are neither rare nor especially beautiful and even in Zurich you won't see a Ferrari or a Jaguar XK120 every quarter hour. But sometimes you may be surprised what you can spot in very few minutes. You can characterize certain behaviors. If it's cold and people still have the window open then it's probably a smoker sitting in the car. Is it a sunny day and the convertible top is still erected it then maybe the woman driver doesn't want to destroy the hair style? Or the dog in the back can't stand the airflow? There are stories behind every car driving through and you can phantasize on what it might be. So relaxing ...
