In so far as "Road Rage" goes, here's a little observation of mine. I drive a 1977 Chevy pickup. And...it looks it. I call it my "Old Whore"...not pretty anymore, but she still gets the job done. Anyway...I've noticed that when I'm entering the Highway, to get to work in the morning, if I'm driving the Saturn...people cut me off right, left, and from behind. However when I have the "Old Whore" on the road...people give me a very respectable amount of distance. They stay the hell away from me. Could it be the 29 years worth of dents and scrapes? Is it a subliminal "Look here...this happened from the last guy that tried what you're thinking". Maybe. All I know is, the Old Whore makes my morning commute much less stressful. |
Holy shit, this is SO TRUE. The day I got my Saturn I noticed people tailgating me, cutting me off, nearly swerving into me. I've since grown used to it, but I used to ponder why this is. Is my unassuming grey Saturn (which lacks any flash or flaire at all) nearly invisible to people? Does such a simple, economic car throw them into fits of rage? Do they just hate people who drive Saturns (most people I share the road with drive BMWs, Audis, or various SUVs).
My previous cars were kind of junker Hondas.
The difference in my daily commute changed drastically when buying a Saturn. People are weird.
