A friend of mine is cooler than the King Cool of Cool Land on Let’s Be Cooler Than We’ve Ever Been Before Day.
He drives a convertible BMW - just one push of a button, and the roof folds itself away at the back silently. In his home he has a genuine 1954 Rock-ola jukebox, containing some original 45s from that year. He bought it for x about 7 years ago, had it shipped over here to the UK, and now it’s worth about 5x.
Plus he dresses in some very neat threads, runs his own software team, is good enough at snooker to play a game with Jimmy White and not get thrashed, and he’s also a very nice guy with a lovely wife.
Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly (and I hate dancing movies, but these guys just ooze coolness)

Just got back froma drive in my 66 GTO.
Even though I am an overweight guy in my mid 40’s, I attracted a lot of young ladies at the park. Pissed off a couple guys in Japanese cars with big wings on the back. They wanted to race, saying something about kicking my ass like in some movie. Told them when you own a classic, you don’t need to race to prove yourself. That pissed them off even more. Tuned my stock AM radio to the Seattle Mariners game and cruised out of the parking lot at 5 mph. Lots of waves and thumbs up. That was cool.
