growler_southEveryone sing along:
I'm an asshole!
he's an asshole!
he's an asshole!
ye-o ye-o!
Is it irrational of me to dislike Porsches or, more precisely, the stereotypical mid-life crisis victim who buys a red convertible even though he doesnt know how to drive properly?
'Properly' is subjective of course, but there are a few fundamental skills, like the hill-start. If you were in stop-start traffic heading up a long, steep hill you *should* be able to start moving without abruptly rolling back 3 feet every time you set off, especially if you were driving a brand-spankin new red Porsche convertible with shiny, clean, un-marked red bumpers. For example.
Then again, what sort of sadistic asshole would notice your inability to drive and *deliberately* stop their car 1.5 feet from your rear bumper? Twice? What's wrong with a person like that? Dont they value their own car?
Or do they merely have 3 spare Piazza bumpers at home and an irrational dislike of Porsches with formerly-unmarked bumpers?
After he rolled back into me *twice*, my Isuzu's hard plastic bumpers had indeed made a satisfyingly flat and nasty black mark on his rear bumper. The first time he waved somewhat apologetically, the second time he whipped his head around, intending to glare at me for stopping too close behind his I-cant-drive-for-shit ass (I think he figured out I was doing it on purpose) but he suddenly decided *not* to get belligerent with the bearded skinhead in dark glasses, and his annoyed expression turned to apology...
