Well, this post is not about me per say since I am many years from this mishap, but it is about this douch bag that I saw on the highway this morning. Driving to work at 7 AM, a car started to enter the highway from a side road. The car was a early 2000s Ford Tarus driven by a guy in his mid 40's. I am not driving the most fashion car and doing the speed limit but this guy looks over to me as he merges with the most distaining look upon his face like how dare I share the same highway with him. I wouldn't be saying anything right now but the guy stayed right next me and kept looking at me. So I looked over and he started to pull on Italian driving gloves and slid on mirrored sun glasses. I shook my head and laughed because this douch bag was an old Ford Tarus wanting to act all high and mighty to a guy driving a Saturn Ion. What was best was that he kept looking over to me trying to get a rise out of me when he hit a pot hole and blew out a tire.

You have to love instant karma, the guy sounds like a proper tit.

Karma! My fave bitch!

The number of weird f***s on the road is truly disturbing. But it's not surprising, given that you could be stark raving mad and get a driver's license if you can keep it together long enough to pass a short exam.

Italian leather driving glove, mirrored sunglasses while driving an old family truckster. If it was a cool sports car I would say he just had a small hamster wang, but driving an old Ford Taurus. Hmmmm... small wang and a d-bag. I so wish I had my camera. It was such an epic fail it was classic.

I am just shocked that people still have mirror sunglasses.

I read a news report today that a lady in South Korea had just passed her written driving test after 905 tries.

She still has to pass her practical.

In Britain, t****ers in expensive cars are less of an issue than chavs in souped up hatch backs. Think Fast and Furious but with smaller cars... much smaller cars.

So just like the US then?

Yeah, it's the thing here too. Take a subcompact, stick a lot of $hit all over it, and suddenly you've got your own exotic! *facepalm*

Anyone else see this week's South Park? Swap out the Harleys for tricked-out Nissan Sentras or whatever, and it'd be pretty much the same show.

@Frazz -- Honestly, I woulda put Texas in the top 5 of "Places You Can Still See People Wearing Mirrored Sunglasses in a Non-Ironic Way." Maybe even top 3. Guess I was wrong.

Well I am not the most observant.

LOL you just reminded me...About a week ago a boy racer in a 'pimped out' Corsa came flying up out street. Half way up the road they have added new speed bumps...and that day i got to see why He hit the first bump at about 50 mph, (on a road outside of a nursery no less) and the crappety ass body kit he had on was torn right off his car, i got a fright because it was LOUD but watching the guy crying at the side of his crappy bright lime green corse was PRICELESS! it had looked like he was driving a sun bed with those silly lights under his car...then it looked like he was drinving a stepto and son reject
Happy days.

That's what I get for learning everything I know about Texas from the show "Dallas".

I once saw a guy ruin his car on a speed bump. It was an ancient ghetto-cruiser and the driver looked like he was an old man back when the car was brand new, definitely not someone who should have a driver's license. Granted, it was a really big speed bump, but it was painted in bright yellow and black stripes, nearly impossible to ignore. One of the front wheels on the car was knocked crooked and several fluids were leaking all over the place, it was obvious that the car's days were done. The noise made by the crash caused everybody within a hundred feet to stop what they were doing and look. He got out of the car, glared around at everybody who was staring at him and bellowed "I want to know who is responsible for this, nooowwww!". The looks of amused pity he got in return should have clued him in as to who that was, but he didn't get it. It was in a strip mall, and so he started going into the shops one after the other until finally half an hour later the police came and dragged him away. I've never laughed so hard in my life.

Did this man happen to look anything like this?
