Old man rant at the youth style of the moment.

[Harv]

Hoodies. It should be punishable by death for an idiot to drive a car wearing a hoodie. Ok. I'll give you the ski hat in the middle of the summer if you want but I got to draw the line at the hoodie while driving like a dick in traffic. I mean, do you really not care about yourself or anyone around you? Why not go all the way and wear a flippen blindfold?

Douchbags.

"douchebags" Hahaha love it.

The opposite being the guys that drive around shirtless all summer. Now, I wouldn't complain if the ladies took up this trend. Ok, select ladies...

People who put laundry in their windows. Drives me nut unless it's on the driver side directly behind you where it doesnt block anything....

[auggiemize]

When I just learned to drive, forty years ago, my older brother told me never to trust any driver wearing a hat, unless its a convertible...

Cell phones and or texting. Dogs on the driver's lap.

Hehehe... I use a few of these stereotypes to my advantage when I'm driving.

I almost always wear a hoodie when I am working on a car for a long period of time. The hood is like a portable pillow that also keeps your head clean when lying on a greasy floor. When driving, I never wear the hood up on my hoodie, but I will prop it up on my neck and start swerving erratically if a neighboring car refuses to let me merge.

On top of that, I do wear a baseball hat much of the time. Being the punk-kid that I am, it can come in pretty handy for the same reasons as a hoodie.

The best item to wear if you want to get your way while driving though is a helmet. Any kind of helmet will do, but I prefer my Simpson auto racing helmet. I have a dark visor mounted on it which prevents others from seeing my face when it is down. If I wear that while in a car, making your neighbors worry is quite an easy thing to do. When they worry, they slow down which lets me merge...

Ok, continue your old man rant...

Some of them are born with their helmets...

Yeah, those damn kids driving around all summer with out their shirts on...or the reverse, old men driving around with their chest hair shirts. Pic from my germany 2009 trip, the photo does not do him justice.

LMAO!!!!

[napa02]

my favorite is the rolling homeless shelter/hoarder nest... you know, the cars that have soooo much crap in them, there is only barely enough room for the driver to sit in the rubble... yeah thats nice...

[Guest]

Or the people who hang shit from the rear bumper of their cut spring slammed honda/VW. More than anything, I hate this "stretch/poke" shit. It looks terrible, at least when it's finally over there will be tons of nice wheels for my track car, once all those people realize how stupid 15x9's look on a car that fits 15x7 max.

Confession!

After spending most of the day in the shop, then going to a 7p meet in cold Florida weather, I wore my hoodie as I was driving home.

But, my heater is not connected, door seals not on, no interior except drivers seat. It was COLD.

And to top it off, I couldn't find my house keys. I had to find a street light, in the cold , dark night and search for the dam keys. Hoodie still on. I wonder if I looked suspect.
