It's become a trend lately to outfit your car headlights with halogens, so that instead of a soft yellow light you get a harsh blue-white glare. These inconsiderate bastards don't consider that by doing this they blind oncoming cars, or the ones in front of them when you look in the mirror to find out what the hell that bright light is.

Invariably, these lights seem to be attached to large luxury cars. I've always noticed that, without fail, people who beat traffic rules, park haphazardly, cut queues, and overtake on the wrong side are almost always morons in large cars / SUVs.

It just goes to prove that no matter how much money you give to lower class people they still behave like lower class people. You can't buy breeding or manners. Put these shack people in Buckingham Palace and they'd still behave like shack people.

Anyway, this moron was weaving around, and I let him drift to the fast lane, when I matched speeds with the car beside so he was stuck. The guy behind him raised his high beams, most likely also annoyed at this idiot for using halogen lights. He swerved left to cut from the emergency lane, but the bus in front was stopping, forcing the guy to take the offramp exit because I slowed down to let the bus cross. Obviously he tried to jink back to the middle lane but the irate drivers behind him jammed their horns, and I believe one of those blessed souls lowered his window and gave the guy the finger. Served.

See, fancy cars don't impress me. I've seen the luxury travel channel on satelite tv. Any schmuck can buy a car. If you want to flaunt it, buy a helicopter. At least I'll respect you for having the brains to beat the traffic, even though I'll still despise you for using a mode of transport that's even more wasteful of energy.

Flashing money around doesn't impress people, especially when you behave like a boor; it makes you look like just another noveau riche parvenu, an upstart with delusions of grandeur.
