My Sister Was Showing Me Her New Honda Hybrid Last Weekend...
and she totally cut off this guy in a shiny new Hummer.

It was unintentional. Mainly his fat-ass suburban assault vehicle didn't fit into a gap that her new fuel efficient wonder machine did.

It left him hanging out in traffic and looking like an asshole for misjudging the size of his monster mobile.

We laughed and waved hello as soon as we realized her hybrid had stopped him mighty hummer in its tracks. He didn't look happy about out friendly greeting. Hope it cost him just that extra little bit of gas money.

I'm sorry, if you have a Hummer in town you are just an asshole.

Feel free to leave their fat asses blocked out as often as you get the chance. It is quite satisfying!:evilgrin:

3. Oh Yeah, It Is Sweet! She is liking it a lot.
I gave it a drive and was loving the response and handling. I have a very generic ford coutour. It was like night and day!

2. Outstanding!
I'm very glad you guys didn't get flattened, though. :) I drive a good-sized 4-door sedan and I geek every time I'm next to one of those idiots on a surface road.

4. I have to laugh!
Usually it is me in my mid-sized car trying to see over or park into a space (or get out of a space where I have no visability.)

I remember a farmer's market visit I made last year. I saw this guy in a small suv backing out. He was oblivious to the pedestrians walking around him (I had been ready to back out minutes previous - had seen the pedestrians and waited) They ran when they saw him, When he started to back out I just had to pull in, he wasn't looking so I got out of my car to confront him and tell him, hey not only would you have hit me but several people walking (who were still there as witnesses!) all he could tell me was he hoped Dean would get it and that's, alas, all he could see.

8. Hey, DistressedAmerican..
Sorry for the off topic post. How is this for a theme.
http://www.johnryanpowell.com/distressed1/

I will add a header graphic/text later. I also need to fix some(alot) of CSS bugs that add the blue on the right and the red bar problem. I should also check it in IE(shudders). After working with PHP for the last year I found out how much CSS I have forgotten. I suck at it now :-)

Oh, and I only added a portion of the main content for testing.

Do you like it at all? Should I continue?
