I don't like being the center of attention

Prior to getting my Mav I'd seen exactly three others out in the wild. Since I took delivery a few weeks ago I haven't seen any at all, which is kinda weird. But anyway, it makes me slightly uncomfortable that I'm driving such an uncommon vehicle around. All the time I see people staring and pointing, and I'm glad there's interest in this truck but it makes me feel pretty weird. I really can't wait for more Mavericks to hit the road so I don't feel like the alien species under the microscope. Am I the only one who doesn't like the attention? I'm happy to talk with anyone who approaches me with questions, but the attention from other drivers is a strange feeling.

As soon as I get my truck I am more than willing to take some of the attention off you.

You can have it! LOL. Seriously though, I prefer to live under the radar but this truck is NOT the one to drive if you want to be anonymous. When I ordered mine back in July I had no idea it would be the White Whale it's become.

To be serious for a second...I would feel a bit weird too with people pointing or looking at me. But I know how they feel. I almost had a coronary seeing my first maverick.

Either you get used to it or get rid of the truck. I get approached at least once a day with questions. The other day when I left a fireworks store in Pahrump, NV, I looked at my rear view mirror and 5 or so employees were watching me driving away πŸ˜†

Yes, exactly. I pointed like a lunatic the first time I saw one on the road too, so I totally get it. It's just a VERY odd feeling being on the other side of it.
