So I think the main reason he bought that St. Regis copcar was so that he could feel big and important and no doubt used it to bully the other motorists. I bet he even sat on a phone book or two so that he looked taller in it.  Anyway, I haven't spotted any inconsiderate drivers worth noting since that day my Intrepid almost got snuffed. Oh, the other day though (can't remember if it was before or after that incident) I saw a fire engine gun it in order to run a red light.

show up at Independence Day car shows when about 200 entries line the main street for the inconsiderate baby stroller to unintentionally scrape by a prestine 1938 LaSalle. Nude bike handlebars are also a threat. The Bow Tie Bash sponsors didn't have enough staff to police the Four block long show so .............. |

Is it laziness or cluelessness? Also saw a Corolla crawling on an on-ramp at maybe half the limit, and braking as it went down towards the freeway...I was thankful I was not behind it. Certain cars are made for such behavior.

Replying to: steve_ (Jul 09, 2009 9:30 am) One can also try to categorize a driver by observing a given vehicle or given vehicle type, and the way it is driven. It's not an inexact science, and "scant" can be subjective. Chances are, that pristine 15 year old Buick going 20 under in the left lane isn't an 18 year old kid, and the tarted old Civic with a fart can screaming around in a gear too low isn't grandpa.

Replying to: steve_ (Jul 09, 2009 9:30 am) Well, let me tell you about what the little twink in the next office does out in the parking lot! There is only one spot in that whole lot, that has a grass median on two sides, so at most you only have one car parking beside you. Well, he parks there, and then puts up road cones along the exposed side of his car! Not inconsiderate, but a bit prissy. I was feeling a bit inconsiderate myself, and got into work early today, so I put my '85 Silverado in that spot.

Replying to: ruking1 (Jul 09, 2009 10:03 am) At first I didn't think he was putting them out, but that maybe someone had just left them there, from an old construction job, or cordoning off the parking lot or something. But then one day I stacked them up after he left and memorized exactly where they were. And sure enough, the next morning, they were moved out again, alongside his car. Yeah, yeah, I know...I need to find myself a hobby or something.
