On my way to work, cruising about 15mph following traffic through the village. Guy zooms past me about 35 and cuts in front of me at the red light. Really? You had to be one ahead of me at the red light? So I applaud him by clapping my hands as he shots me a fist shaking bird.
Now I'm following him on my normal route to the post office about 5 car lengths behind. I'm thinking he's thinking I'm pursuing him or something, for two or three miles. I put on my turn signal a full block ahead of the turn (he didn't) to let him know I'm not following him. He turns in and then freaks out when I turn in, diving into a parking spot then quickly backing out and screeching off.
What a whack job.

Understood, no more politics.

Thanks! I guess I'm feeling overwhelmed by all the political coverage on the news lately. I was hoping for a break with the Olympics, but it hasn't helped much.

Not wanting to turn this into a political discussion...but I will just state the fact that a fish does not rot from the head down. It actually happens from the guts out.
Which does still make metaphorical sense.

It looks like the way to get super rich in the US is to get into politics, hmmmm that's not good, banana republic stuff.

How dare you. Our Dear Leader is all knowing, and Godlike for he also does not need to take a poo. USA is greatest country now under our Dear Leader, say anything different and the IRS will come knocking to send you to Gulag.

It's the opposite around here. I like to pass in front of a McLaren or Lamborghini, slow down, then take off really fast spreading my intermix through my left tail pipe and all over their windshields! Cracks me up every time!

Those hillbillies in the pickups rolling coal are voting for Trump, not Hillary.

Priuses just "roll coal" at the electricity plant that burns it. Chocolate covered bull****. Once you peel back that first layer of chocolate it's all a bunch of bull**** with unforeseen consequences.

In Mother Russia, fish rots you.

And for the NSA monitors watching the thread, until they figure out how to tax it, I will keep on pooping twice a day.

Haters are going to hate, I had someone tried to spit on my 997. I was on the highway going 70mph on a 65mph zone. He purposely slowed down, moved to the right lane, rolled down his window, and tried to spit on my car, it missed but it was cleared what his intentions were.

Put one of the window washing nozzles to the side and spray him. Or drive ahead and spray in front.

Or forget what I said because it's as stupid as doing the soot thing.

I rarely come across nut-jobs in my area of North Atlanta - Alpharetta, Milton, etc. It might be because there are hundreds/thousands of other high-end sports cars, not jacked up 4x4s. I do get the occasional Infiniti or Lexus guys but I never take the bait.

We took a 944 to a nascar race in NH. We almost got mugged. People were yelling and it was funny as hell, as my buddy driving takes off like a bat outta hell.. I guess we should have known :-(
