Poor economic decision
I was driving my friends around in the new car, babying it around town during break in, and I completely justified my purchase.
The Setup: I pulled up along side a white essyouvee which towered over my car. One of my friends pointed out the ludicrous rims on the car by saying: "we should all bow our heads to avoid the galre of that chrome". I hadn't noticed but the car was riding on rims that were considerably larger that the radius of the wheel wells. I was too focused on driving to see the tires that were up to eye level in my Cobalt.
Actually it looked like this but white, with larger rims...
As we pulled next to them in traffic I got a good look and wretched, literally, which the passenger of the behemoth must have noticed. The thing sped off and when I pulled up next to the car the passenger was hanging out the window with a big smirk on his face. Once I stopped he shouted: "Hey! Hey! Don't be jealous 'cause ours rims cost as much as your whole car!" Then they burned a little rubber (let's face it, they had a lot to spare) and peeled away.
I saw that dad-pays-for-everything-snob-asshat hanging out the window smirking down the road and I didn't care that I had a full car. Emboldened, I pulled up next to them just a ways down the road and shouted: "I don't have to be, I'm faster!" The suv's exhaust roared (farted, really) and it lurched forward. I dropped the hammer and they dissappeared into the rear view mirror. I saw them pull off at the next available street.
In retrospect I should have shouted "I fear you may have made a poor economic decision my flashy friend, for if you had saved that cash you spent on your 'rims' you could have purchased this car. A much more sound investment indeed! Watch as it smokes your ridiculous asses"
But that would have been hard to intimate at 35mph.
Not a kill really, but it felt ******* excellent.
