The return of the idiot!

Hey folks, I was contemplating ditching this feature but some fans of it protested (ok, just MossyStone and TC) and I had two new instances of idiocy yesterday. This proves to me that it is still need to point out these vermin that need to be avoided like the plague (or given a Darwin award).

So, idiot #1: This goofball, driving a fairly laden Japanese model car, is such in a hurry, that he edges his car a FULL car length plus into the intersection. Why is this stupid? Because, the other side had an advanced green light. He was not going anywhere. He was not outrunning TR. He was just being an impatient ass.

Idiot #2: those of us old enough to remember the Korean invasion of the automotive world will remember the introduction of one of the cheapest and most osught after mass-produced vehicle ever to hit the North American shores; yes, The Hyundai (pronounced like Sunday) Pony. This was quickly followed by the faster, sportier, more expensive Excel. My sister owned one of these and I got it up to 160km/h one winter coming down the 115 from Trent University where...uhm, a story for a different day.

Anyhow, anyone that knows the Hyundai line of vehicles knows that the line is decent for the money though not spectacular. Everyone also knows, on a dragstrip, this will not be mistaken for anything but what it is. So, what would possess this dumbass pulling out of the Shell station on the corner of Finch and Brimley to fly out of the driveway into the lane of a vehicle approaching at speed? No, TR was behind this other vehicle bracing for what seemed to be an inevitable flying shower of metal and mostly plastic.

Somehow, he was able to gather every single last horse in that lethargic engine and speed forward of the oncoming doom. IDIOT! You are driving an upgraded PONY! It is not a Mercedes, Jaguar, BMW, AUDI or Rolls. It is not a Town Car, Crown Vic, STS or Marquis. It is NOT a Porsche, Lambo or Ferrari. So don't EVER try that stunt again if you truly love your family and consider their lives worht something.

IDIOT!
