"Lets see what that POS has"

ClemsonWill · 06-27-2011, 01:23 PM

Similar situation happened to me a couple of weeks ago. Some guy was parked in fron of my neighbors house. I guess he was doing some work for him. I roll into my drive way as he is staring me down. He finishes putting a handful of stuff into the trunk of his 1980s Ford thunderbird. I proceed to get the mail as I always do. He yells out "nice car." Immediately followed by, "no way it will keep up with me though!" I just said, probably not" and continue walking back inside. The best part being when he starts his rust bucket. It makes a loud pop (backfire) as he drives off.

I probably would have given the miss america wave to him if I was not standing in front of my house.

It is just annoying. I guess I have a bad temper when it comes to people like that and should learn to smile and give a thumbs up.

All throughout high school and college, I was an aggressive driver. I'd gun it at lights all the time, take corners too aggressively, do stupid stuff to impress my friends. Then when I graduated, I bought a sensible car, and over time, I made myself a more patient driver. I laughed off other people's insecurities and focused on getting there in one piece.

The Z, however, has unlocked my inner child a bit, and is making it harder for me to play nice

Oh, I thought that was because of something else...
