Girly man with a "Smart" car
The other day I took my Camaro out for a spin and stopped to fuel up. At the adjacent pump there was a mousy looking girly man filling up his "Smart" car. As I was pumping he looks over with a wry smile and says, "that thing sounds like a truck, it must get great gas mileage", dripping with sarcasm.
I ignored him and didn't say anything, but it has been irritating the heck out of me since. Where do these self righteous people think they live? Russia? China perhaps? It seems every where you turn there's someone telling you to do what's for the common good. They tell you what to drive, what size home you should have, what to eat, what to drink, etc. America was founded on principles supporting the individual, not the collective. I should have told that punk to move to France where he and his car would fit right in.  Anyway, I just needed to get that off my chest. Thanks for "listening"

You should just tell him to have fun dying when he hits a pedestrian in that cracker jack car.

Loving My LS3

 i would have told him my mpg is higher than your hp I had a guy in prius talk down to me about MPG and tree hugger crap. He shut up after i told him that the process of just making his car makes a bigger carbon footprint than my car will make on road in 10+ years. These neo hippies are somthin else

"Yeah but look on the bright side at least I didn't spend $12K on a two seat death trap POS with no room that shifts like a truck, rides like it's about to fall apart and only does a few MPG better than a Cobalt."
