People...and their cars

It's funny how impersonal our neighbours have become. I'm not an analyzer, going into how globalization has taken most of our time working, shifting our focus on different things, usually material. Or maybe the newer flats have units more spaced out such that we don't seem to make the effort to get to know our neighbours now.

Now our neighbours aren't Mrs or Mr So-and-So with a face. They are solely identified with the cars they drive or even their carplates.

Miffy *seeing a car drive by*: Oh, EU 8111.
M: Yea...ex Mazda 6 driver, now Toyota.

OR

Miffy: Oh SBR666 changed car...to an MPV!
M: Yup, it was a Tuscani coupe.
Miffy: Likely a new addition in their family.

And I don't ever know how they look like.
