This is a question Cars

"Here in my car", said 80s pop hero Gary Numan, "I feel safest of all". He obviously never shared the same stretch of road as me, then. Automotive tales of mirth and woe, please.

Whenever I see a really flash car
I always make sure not to stare at it as it goes past, as that's exactly what the smug git driving it wants every single person he passes by to do.

I do exactly the same
And have been known to walk into things as I desperately look the other way to show as little interest in the stupid poser as possible.

I like to point at the car in front of them.
Then turn my back.

So Do I!
I always stare dead ahead when I catch a glimpse of one coming. I don't know if it's just my imagination but sometimes it seems like they speed up a bit as they go past as if you're going to be like "WOW!" Twats.

I also do this with women that expect to be looked at.
I presume that in return they either don't care or think I'm gay.

I make a positive point of staring...
...because I know from personal experience that some of them hate it. Back before I had a family and a mortgage and an 8.7 cholesterol reading, I owned a Boxster. Never completely fell in love with the looks but what a beautiful car to drive. On the open road it was just heaven. But I lived in London and driving around the capital left me in a constant state of embarrassment.

Sitting in traffic jams, I knew people who glanced my way were thinking, "I bet that guy thinks he's sooo fucking cool. What a 007-wannabe!" I was constantly trying to adopt a facial expression that tried somehow to convey that I was a really nice guy, which probably just made me look absurdly smug. And my stupid reactolite glasses always turned into the darkest of shades even when it was absurdly overcast. I wound up driving it mostly with the top up.

So kids, don't buy an extrovert's car if you're not an extrovert! There's a lot of self-doubt behind some of those poker-faced super-convertible drivers.
