Where does on begin.... Basically I left the gaf this morning at 620ish. Tipping along and I see this car come up rather fast behind me (still in the estate!!) so I continue to tip along at moderate estate speed 40 - 50kph. anyway, this guy is a bit close to my back bumper for my liking. Would you believe it, its a hundai coupe. the new shape. He has the sunroof open on tolt, the fog lights on and is obviously DUNGlighted with himself. Good for him I think. I continue as normal. This guy is stuck up my butt for about 2km even though I am doing slightly over the speed limit on all strecths of road and could certainly not be judged to be slow driving. I get the impression, regardless of what speed I do he will want to be 1metre from my bumper because he is in a super car. Yeah ok, I said it. WTF is wrong with these people. Why why why god do idiots feel the need to prove something about their cars... Heres a hint for the coupe drivers, if someone is driving an FTO they obviously are a car fan. Your not going to impress or wow them by driving up their ar s e in you korean scrap heap. ARGHHH... Makes me so angry. I tried to ignore this fella but inevitably the road became a 2 lanes and I pulled into the buslane to let him shoot by in his supercar. btw it was only a buslane from 7am onwards so its all good as its before 7 at this stage. Anyway, the coupe driver flies down the outside lane till he is level with me. DUNGlighted with himself. I have ZERO interest in racing or showboating or any of that sh1te. I'm still half asleep, car is still probably not fully up to operating temp, and I have no time for this sh1t on the best of days. the guy waits till the last minute and accelrates and pulls in right in front of me just before his left turn. He brakes heavily forcing me to brake very heavily. I'm so angry now I want to follow the guy and smash his car with something heavy.
I know, not good. mild road rage. But I don't know why certain people feel the need to prove something like this. so he got in ahead of me. WAHOO! what a fcuking hero. It's not worth causing a potentially dangerous situation and forcing heavy braking. I try never ever to brand people. I really do. Branding or stereo typing is for lazy people. but... increasingly I have to say it, new shape hyundai drivers are ignorant fcuking wanna be ferrari driving a$$holes. And there is 1000000000s of them now. They must be giving away new shape coupes somewhere? everytime some sh1t like this happens, I want to put the next coupe dirver I see, back in his box. Let him know he is driving a scrap heap from a 39 year old auto company whose chairman was sentenced to prison last year for corruption and embezzlement. ARGH! God damn it. Lose the attitude hyundai oupe owners. Actually, maybe there is a forum for hyundai owners that I can go and flame. See what they have to say about it. I thought I was being harsh at first, but th more I encounter hyundai drivers the mroe I realise they all fit a certain profile. They want the image of a sports car (cheaply) and know nothing at all about cars. the oly hyundai drivers that seem ok are the women in their 30s. no attitude problems there. They obviously like the car image but thats it. They are not out to prove something.
ok ok I'll stop now. Take a few breaths. They should just get themselves an AMG tuned Merc if they want to act the part of "successful, fast living, 30s, professional, next CEO" type sh1t. It reminds me of the Porsche boxter owners who used to have a go at me in my last car just cause it had black rims. Same profile as the coupe drivers, but at least they have the badge behind them....
just had to get it off my chest. the analogy I added at the end of OP just now makes them ost sense to me. The coupe drivers are identical to the porsche boxter drivers. Think they are in a 911, out to prove something aswell. At least the Porsche drivers can get a good bit out of saying "yeah, yeah, I drive a porsche". "yep, I drive a hyundai" doesn't exactly sound synonymous with the trappings of wealth and power. argh, I wanna punch one.
