Race Car Hybrids

Race car hybrids, SUV hybrids, etc... arrgh! Counter productive... and a demonstration of how "going green" is the new name brand.

What upsets me most about this is that you have too many people on the road driving hybrids, who don't give a crap about the environment. Now, you'd think that this is because I'm some sort of a grandstanding hippy. In actuality, it's because I have insane road rage. Normally, when a hybrid cuts me off... I follow them until we're side by side. Then, I make long eye contact with them... so they take in each and every ounce of lady intimidation. Then, I reach menacingly into the glove compartment and pull out a styrofoam cup. I watch as they gasp in horror, and begin pleading with me: "Nooooooo, why?! There are so many sensible alternatives made out of recycled paper..."

I tend to reply coldly: "But those don't keep my non-organic, unfair trade coffee warm enough." Then I throw the cup out the window, so it falls right at the feet of the crying Native American guy who hangs out by the freeway. This leaves the hybrid driver wailing behind their steering wheel, and then they think carefully before cutting somebody off. Haha!*

Sooo... today when a hybrid cut me off and sped off... I trailed them, and pulled up to them and went through the process of mad-dogging them and showing them the styrofoam. Well, the lady held up her own styrofoam cup and made a "cheers" gesture... and sped off in such a way that assures me that she's not getting the maximum MPG from her vehicle... leaving me in the dust of Coexist sticker. I felt incredibly powerless, and thus... resent the trendiness of hybrid vehicles. Fin!

*EDIT: I don't actually do this... and I totally totally respect the crying guy's deep abiding respect for the natural beauty that was once this country.
