When I get asked about my car and I don't feel like engaging (99% of the time) and don't want to be a total d-bag, I keep the following remark chambered: "Geez, I don't know. It's my wife's car. I don't have a clue."
This accomplishes 2 things 1) Kills the conversation immediately. 2) Leaves the guy wondering -- if that's his wife's car ....

So, would you be pissed of if city worker would use his grasstrimmer near you p-car. Cowering the right side of the car in smal pieces of grass, and some nice stone chips.
I was...
And now the city is paying for painting my car's right door and rearquarter.
Just awsome.... Not...

Fender Kisser
Recently I was sitting at a traffic light and a guy got out of the passenger seat of some little sh*tbox and yelled "I LOVE YOUR CAR". He then kissed the rear fender. I raised the spoiler just then. His girlfriend (driving the sh*tbox) busted a gut laughing!

Just happened.
I parked my car in a CVS lot. There are about 25 empty spaces in a row. I choose space number 5 which is on the far end, away from the entrance. As I'm walking away, a 20-ish, 85 pound woman driving an 8,000 lb SUV/Urban Assault Vehicle pulls into space number 6, about 12 inches from my car. I run back between the cars and put up my hand.
Me - "Don't open the door, you're too close. I'll move mine.
Her - "What are you worried about?"
Me. "Just wait a second while I move my car"
Her - "F*ck you, old man!"
Me - "Just wait!"
(I start backing out)
Her - "Enjoy your midlife crisis, fat-***!"
Me - "Don't forget your Maxi-pads, you f*cking bitch!"
Just another day in my life.

Well, I will share this... I usually daily drive my Cayenne because it just makes it easier to drop my 4 year old daughter off on the morning.
But the wife's Audi has been in the shop so she has the Cayenne and has been doing all the "kid" picking up and dropping off so I have been driving the 996 all week, what a treat, the weather has been awesome and the sound of the FisterD's on the way to work has been putting me into a much better frame of mind.
Yesterday I had to drive out to Long Island and on the way back while merging into traffic a guy would not let me in to the merge so I just dropped back, I really did not care or acknowledge him.
a few minutes later I end up next to him and my window is down, I did not even realize it until I heard him yelling this: "Who's the man now you F*Ckin *Porsch* Douche?"
So I looked at him, said nothing and looked backing thinking there no reason to get into it with this deranged person but I than see him take a swig out of what looked like a flask sized bottle of booze.
I get into the Toll Plaza at the Throgs Neck Bridge first and alert the cop standing there, I suspect he was in cuffs shortly.
Other than that, it was fun drive despite the traffic!

What is it with uptight fools thinking that because we have a nice car that we are going threw a "mid life crisis" I just say no I've worked since I was 12 years old put myself and wife threw school got an above avg. education became a professional and now I'm reaping the rewards of hitting the lotto..
When I see things like this from young people who think they know everything, a quote from one of my favorite movies comes to mind - "Life will find you."

Exactly. Why does it have to be a mid-life crisis? Could it possibly be that after working hard for 35 years to provide for my family and paying off the house, that I can finally treat myself to a long-delayed reward? That's what I should have said, but "F'cking bitch" seemed more appropriate at the time.

Like VW says, in life there are passengers and there are drivers. The Jr. AHol in the back seat will probable be there the rest of their lowly life. As a driver, I like to keep folks like that far behind in my rear view mirror. No place in my life for negative Karma.

Stopped at light today next to beautiful Lamborghini Gallardo, who waves at me with a thumb's up and yells over to me, "Wow, nice car, man!" Mouth open, I said something like, ya, but it's not a Lambo...."So what, you've got an awesome car there..." and proceeds to invite me to the next local sports car gathering with him and his friends.
I guess it really is a very, very nice car. Of course, we knew that already, but it's nice to hear from the big boys once in a while.
