hahahaha.. pulled up to a stop light today and a homeless man asked me for some money. I was in xmas mood so gave him $5. He thanked me and proceeded to start washing washing my windshield. I was stunned of his action and immediately told him to stop. It was too late. The windshield was covered with some sort of a mixture of green and gray fluid. I asked what it was and he told me that he crushed up some sort of plants he found at the park and that it was an 'herbal' cleaner. Anyways, the lights turned green and I wished him a merry xmas and proceeded on my way. About 5 minutes later a miracle happened. It started to rain. What a relief. I was rushing home to wash my car as soon as possible and the rain took care of that. I thought I would share this kodak moment with you all

 

To a homeless dude in Afghanistan, US$5 is a lot of money. I'm not surprised the Gods looked down kindly upon you.

 

People are jealous.

My neighbor guy saw me with my S2000 one day,
It is obvious that it is mine and he never spoke to me before and first thing he says
"Is that yours?" "We should line up sometime"
mind you he drives old late 90 Grand Prix GT.
I replied "Sure, I will take you to a road track anytime"

 

An herbal cleaner... yeah...

 

hope it wasn't this 'herbal' green>>>

 

or bong water.

 

Yesterday I was following well behind someone in a truck, there was a redlight ahead and I switched to the left turn lane ('cuz my place is around the corner.)

The pickup truck driver had his window down as did I and he said, "you know man I can see you just fine you don't need to [bleeping] blind me with your brights." He was pissed.

I said these were the normal headlamps, I didn't have brights on, I'm sorry. He sort of got silent and the light turned green and he drove off. It was disturbing.

I wonder how much of the antagonism is due to the headlamps.

I see a lot of these stories of getting flipped off are happening in the south and midwest. I'm from IL, I know what it's like there.

A friend back there is a union pipe fitter. He can't drive his Honda Civic to union meetings, it'll get keyed or worse. He has to take the Ford.

People are morons. What can I say. If an American car company could make a car worth a sh*t for a resonable price, I'd buy it. I'm going to buy the best product for the lowest price. In the case of cars, for me that means a S2000 and a VW Passat.

I don't get that crap here in San Diego. If someone sees my car and get jealous, or mad or whatever, it only lasts a few minutes until someone drives by in a Porsche or Mecedes or BMW (BMW's are freakin everywhere here). My little Honda is low key.

At the gas station the other day, a woman (in an Accord) asked me what car was that, I can't believe that's a Honda, it's really nice, and how much was it. When I told her $32,000 she got kinda quiet and said, "that's only a little more than I paid for my car. I could have had that instead?". She seemed bummed.
