Perspective is a funny thing. Considering the average median income of the US population is around $28k a year, a $40k sports car isexpensive. It's affordable for those making over $50k a year like most of us here, but try rationalizing that to someone making $15k a year.
I guess what I'm trying to say is most of us are fortunate and we shouldn't take that for granted. Some people just don't realize most us worked hard to get to where we are.... and some people are just a**holes.

Prius owners piss me off all the time, they are EVERYWHERE in Boston. They try and race me all the time ( no way jose) , or speed up next to me and then cut me off and slow down, cause accidents, or just in general drive with no regard. I hate them, all of them, every single Prius owner sucks at driving. Whenever I am on the highway I always stay far away from them, i dont know what it is but they always try and show off by accelerating really fast in one lane, like they are proving that just because their car is green doesnt mean its not fast. Get a life Prius owners, go stick ur head in mud............ok done ranting

Here in San Diego the most that tries to race/overtake/or-being-a-plain-d0uch3 would be Corollas, Civics esp. hatchbacks, Prius, most 1 & 3 series BMW, Stangs and Vettes.

people also dont realize just how easy it is to find a job making at least 50K a year, even with no college. its not what you know its who you know. i personally have no college and i had a job paying $70K a year by the time i was 22. most people are just lazy and sit around wishing they had what somebody else has. its nobodys fault but their own. |

i can deal with most everything being said here. been there done some of it...
but what's really getting old is people in other cars today it was a couple of guys in a gold 350 pulling up beside me and revving up wanting to either show off or race on a public road.... anything from a f150 to a civic what gives.. oh and the old stand by "how fast have you had it up to" like we all wait around for the first chance to drive 140 mph.... |
