I'm Formulating a Theory...Have You Ever Noticed?

When I am out and about driving in my little car and I encounter a bad (insert-your-own-adjective here) driver, I notice that they are frequently in a certain kind of car.  
  1. Oldsmobile Cutlass - extra senior citizen driving way too slow
  2. Suburban SUV - "super mom" talking on the car phone and changing lanes without looking
  3. Subaru WRX - young, testosterone-filled males driving too fast 
  4. 7 Series BMW - big black car bearing down on me in the passing lane, even though I'm going 75 mph, pulls right up on my bumper and zips past me.  Usually some stud execu-guy on his way to make the next big $$$ deal.
  5. Subaru Outback - I've never seen an unsafe Outback driver.  Rumor has it that these cars are the "lesbian car".  I've had on for over 10 years and 126,000 miles, am I weird?
Do you have any data to add to this un-scientific research??

Why do the largest/tallest/longest SUV's have the smallest arrogant on yer bumper horn blowing cell phonin' "i have money....even though we're leasin' this unnecessary rig just for me" spoiled no clue about real world b...es behind the too big for her wheel?????? I believe there is a certain age man/woman now who was part of the 'new parenting' wave of about 30/35 yrs ago whereby the brats wouldn't suffer any disappointments (trophies for all and no keeping score)and they were all fed only positive reinforcing the world is your oyster comments like...you didn't lose because we don't keep score....and, he/she isn't better than you because you are capable of anything, he/she just had a luckier day than you. How about, nobody is MORE important than you, you have the same rights, like you can have anything he has or anything you want and also, you don't have to wait in line, just move up and say you have a very pressing and important schedule and they should just accept it or you'll sue. Their all ass holes!! Just remember that turning right is an "option" on green. If you want to you can wait for the green. If by chance one of these aholes blows his horn just do what I have done a couple times....get out and go back to him and ask,"do we know each other?".....oh I'm sorry, I thought you were trying to get my attention...WHILE I WAITED FOR THE DAMN GREEN LIGHT, Ass hole!!!!!

I know TJ and Pea it should have been "They're all aholes". My editor quit on me. BUT, you get my point.
Also, remember that some psychiatrists believe that when one is offended or threatened that RAGE is a natural and apropriate response. While it could be dangerous it usually is effective and scares the livin' bejeezus out of most horn happy mousey aholes who routinely roll up the window when a madman goes verbal bonkers...not that I personally have any proof or ......data!!!!!! Yuk Yuk....

uncle stoney jumped all over that post. Guess the computer if fixed. Good stuff...remind me never to beep at anyone who sits at a green light in the right turn lane, it may be stoney in front of me. Quick, roll up the window!

Rumor has it Stoney is getting a new car.

Zyminski said...

Mario, Not true. Fact is "Stoney" is getting a new girl friend who has a new car and can drive him wherever he needs to go.

I've never seen an unsafe Outback driver either. Then again, only nine Outbacks were ever sold and Eddie and Susan have TWO of them! Also, regarding driving. I think Eddie handles a stick shift smoother than any "Stick Shift Driver" I ever rode Shotgun for, seamless Gear Changes. Must be related to Cord Changes.

Officer Dibble said...

I too can attest to Eddie's driving skills. However,he once ended up in a cornfield in his classic Torino..and knocked hisself silly once, in his classic rabbit and did cruise Avalon,SeaIsle N.J. in his 64 chevy when he was but 15 yrsold...so, let's remember, altho now a Subaru driver...he's had his moments...dis axe 'em he's got a million stories!

That Torino also brought 'dward to the precipice of the Quarry in Montgomerville. Prob w/ the Torino was that it was not a "stick"! Drive a stick and YOU control the vehicle...Drive an automatic & you automatically become bored and fall asleep behind the wheel AND end up in Corn Fields, College Campi Quadrangles and Quarries. As for the '64 Chevy? That was Pea's White, on White, In Red & White, Power Windowed, Whitewalled IMPALA! and the little one STOLE IT! I could go on...

Dutch said...

Yo... That Torino was raated by Hilton Hotels at 4 stars. You couldn't touch it for under 250.00 per night in the 70's.

Flash: Just located a brand new 2001 Outback. It is located in Littlestown, Pa. Just a short drive from the Maryland line. Rumor has it is was only used for rum running into Pa. You can have it if you get it off the milk boxes. Slight damage from small caliber bullets.

Dad once gave me a '55 Ford to use at St. Francis in my junior yr.(don't know where he got it) What a great gift!! Unfortunately, the block froze after an early freeze in Loretto, PA (early October) just before I wanted to have it winterized. Therefore I didn't have a car all yr. but Jack made it up to me in my last semester w/ a gift of a Dodge with the gear "buttons" up high on the dash. I never knew so many rich girls until that semester!!!! Rode it until I graduated and bought a VW. Dad refused to even come out and look at it cause he was offended that I traded the Dodge. I was thinking like a typical youngun and never gave it a thought...should have. End of story...yawn.

Gerald Pea said...

This stuff is getting Ridiculous! First, Eddie is cool cause he is driving an Impala thru Sea Isle at the age of 15! The Impala was stolen from Pea! SECOND, Stoneman says Dad gave him a 55 Ford to go back to St Francis in the dead of Winter...That 55 Ford was bought by Pea for $35.00 from Mr Osterle and Dad & John stole it from Pea & I never saw that car again...TJ, our Family Historian tells me that back in the Old Country, McKendry's were sheep Rustlers! In the 60's they were car Rustlers in the USA!

Wyatt Earp, Lawman said...

Pea, I must agree with you totally. Seems I remember that Blaze "rustled" that Torino from a sweet, unknowing couple in the Harrisburg area. Car rustlers indeed!! I've been trying to track him down ever since.
