Default Attack of the Bentley

Last night coming home proceeding through a stop sign I noticed a large (I guess they all are) Bentley behind me. When he got through the intersection he speeds up and runs right up and tails me until the next stop sign, then does the same thing again until I turned off the street, and he flew by me on the right. It was kind of comical I guess, I had to laugh, don't know what was going through his mind. Wealthy haters?

Just the opposite...he wanted to play with another hi-line driver but didn't know how.

I would agree. They are pretty fast too.

He was trying to show you that he's just as fast as you, in a hyper-competitive antisocial jerky sort of way. My one run in with a Bentley was similarly bad, suggesting a 'more money than brains' issue here: I was on the freeway in West L.A. trying to merge lanes into a nice, wide gap, that should have been easy and offended no one - except, a Bentley saw what I was doing and shot forward at amazing speed to close the gap, nearly causing an accident.

Hey At Law, Don't know if you have seen it but there is a white Bentley in town. I see it in my neighborhood (Country Club) every so often. There is also a new yellow Ferarri and then there is that pesky little white 997.2TT.... Pretty good for the "small" town we live in.

Kosmo: I hope your kidding. Right???

There are rich a$$holes, middleclass and poor a$$holes. The poor don't have a monopoly on a$$holes. Rich doesn't necessarily = smart.

Reminds me of how dogs first meet each other and go through antics to get each other to play. Maybe you missed a secret ritual, a posturing if I may, known only to those in the Bentley club...

The white Bentley convertible I saw on the way to dinner tonight had some lame driver on it, juggling his iPhone in his left hand while driving. They don't have BT in those things??
