Concrete evidence of stupidity http://autos.yahoo.com/blogs/motoram...210302568.html I guess Porsche drivers really are special. Of the small percentage of people I do not like in this world, many of them drive a Porsche! And I am not being jealous or whatever, I like other people who drive other expensive cars. Mercedes, Rolls Royce, BMW, etc. Just to be fair, I googled the word "asshole" along with each of the above cars. Here are the results... asshole Porsche 24,800,000 results asshole Mercedes 6,370,000 results asshole Rolls Royce 9,470,000 results asshole BMW 3,830,000 results |

Rolls and Mercedes were consistently good. Gladys Knight, in her dark green Rolls, was always $5. Steve |

Just when I think I've seen it all, some stupid driver teaches me I haven't. It never ceases to amaze me how stupid or inconsiderate some drivers can be. It actually surprises me (it shouldn't but does) when I encounter a polite driver. I guess this is because they are so rare. |

I had a beautiful Chrysler Cordoba and one morning I walked out the front door and my car was 20 feet down the street from where I parked it with the front end caved in. Thew was a trail of automobile parts and fluids going down the street. The murderer was never caught. :-( TDD |

With the rich Corinthian leather? It must have looked "marvelous!" until it was murdered. That's awful. "Boss, the plane!" Seriously, though, there aren't very many cars like the Cordoba that are indelibly associated with a single Hollywood actor like the Cordoba and Ricardo Montalban. I didn't figure you as the Cordoba type. El Camino, pickup or van, maybe. (-: There's nothing like discovering your car's been destroyed but it's even worse to find it up on blocks and gutted, too. I remember seeing a film about how long an abandoned car lasts in NYC. They begin at twilight and by midnight there's a shell left up on cinderblocks. No seats, no engine, no steering wheel, no wheels, no trunk lid, no hood, no doors - even the carpeting goes.

I'm supposed to get my van back today but my favorite cars were the 64 Valiant, the 65 Dart, the 67 & 73 Renault 10's and the 71 Renault 16. The little 67 R10 weighed 1730lbs and I could pull the 1108cc engine by hand and carry it to the work bench to repair it. It's been a while since I owned a car, I've been driving vans to run service calls when I feel well enough to work. I work on my vehicles when I can but hurt so bad it takes a while to recover and I start all over again. o_O TDD |

My bet is that Subaru comes close to the top. |
