Dork in a Cayenne
 
Whilst on a trip with the wife and the lovely monsters.....Katherine, Kristen and Danielle (9, 9 and 7), to San Diego and Sea World....yeah it's a dry heat......

Some dork in a brand new Cayenne Turbo with paper plates did something that MOST people would NEVER do......

Since the wifey does not like me to hit the apexes and the heel a toe shift with the automatic in the new Yukon is a NO NO....I usually ride in the second seat......so.....we are on our way to the train station to drop my hairybutt off to get home for work on Monday......and this dork flies up on the right side while we are waiting to turn right ourselves......

The putz tries to squeeze between the curb and a 50 ton Yukon XL and then lays on the horn.......geez, exsqueeeeezeeee mmmmeeeee.....we make the turn and I hear the turbo wind up and this scheisterhausen throws ME the bird......

Geez, no wonder most new P-car owners don't flash......they are former.........fill in the blank. If I was alone and that happened I would have chased him down and ripped his gold chains off and poured his latte in his lap.......

Rant over,........8^)

Joe Bob 07-28-2003 12:24 PM

Hmmm, lots or reads...no comments...I take it everyone agrees?

Jeffra 07-28-2003 12:27 PM

The dork obviously doesn't deserve to drive a Porsche, even if it is a Cayenne.

Neilk 07-28-2003 12:27 PM

I think you would have had a hard time catching him in the Yukon... but the guy was obviously a total Arschloch.

masraum 07-28-2003 12:28 PM

yeah, what a jackazz

I was coming down an aisle in a parking lot once and pulled into a park just as a woman in an SUV came racing around the corner with her daughter in the car. She stopped behind my car, hanked and flipped me the bird right in front of her daughter who was about 10 and in the passenger's seat. The lady then parked about 4 or 5 spots farther down and as she walked past our car flipped us off again. (we sat in the car until she passed, just in case) What do you figure the daughter is now ruined for life and will end up the same way.

People are idiots.

Randy Webb 07-28-2003 12:47 PM

Meth makes people do odd things.

You may want to consider some private law enforcement. Write them a nice note and slip it under their windshield wiper while they are shopping. If the wiper arm happens to get bent while you are dong this, that is just too bad.

The Karma police catch up to such folks and the headlines read "Freak accident" or "Random shooting in traffic".

Cheers,

Not sure what your exact circumstances were, but I try to minimize any measureable passing room before I make a right turn. Any semblance of room on the right, no matter how close to, "not enough room, bud", will tempt vehicular buttheads like this to make "the pass". From the other perspective, if a driver leaves enough room on the right for a car lane, then perhaps his vehicle is not in the ideal position and may be even blocking two vehicle lanes - not good either. Your experience sounds like one of those "Porcupines in a Porsche" stories.

You've seen the drivers who try to emulate the highway patrol by driving on the shoulder to bypass rush-hour freeway traffic? I've been known to swing my big ass minivan butt out to the right to "thwart the dorks" who try this uncouth maneuver. Some people.

THe kid, the one with the outstretched middle finger in the picture above, would probably grow up to become a Cayenne driving character that started this whole thing in the first place.

OVRSTR 07-28-2003 01:28 PM

An ******* is an ******* no matter what they drive. How does the Cayenne have anything to do with it?

red-beard 07-28-2003 01:31 PM

Must have been from out of town. Most San Diegans are pretty laid back, even with 3 expressos...

Where were you turning?

island911 07-28-2003 01:32 PM

LOL, OVRSTR !

Hey Mike, maybe he would have cut you a break if you where in your 356/914. :cool:

D'ya think!? :rolleyes:

Embs 07-28-2003 01:51 PM

Yeah Z everytime we go anyplace it doesn't take long to see the first ********* behind the wheel. It is amazing and obviously nationwide. Formerly I would raise hell when people would pull stupid shat while driving, now I pu$$ out anymore because you never know who might have a loaded gun. The wifey says better a live ******* than a dead hellraiser. <br>It is really hard to keep my mouth shut and hands below the dash. I just have to think (or wish) that the idiots get a good a$$ whooping every now and again for being so damn stupid.

Mr9146 07-28-2003 01:54 PM

See, that guy bought his Cayenne because he has peni$ issues.

Originally, it was thought that he was trying to compensate for having a small peni$. But in the process of showing off and being a complete arsehole, he has made it painfully obvious to the world that, in fact, he HAS NO PENI$.

jhugh 07-28-2003 02:06 PM

Smash em up SUV derby - I love it. You should have rammed him. We all know which vehicle would have won in any kind of race, but who would have won in a demolition derby? Good use for both vehicles, IMO.

D Hanson 07-28-2003 03:59 PM

Hahaha, why is it that everyone who owns older Porsches seem to be so vocal about the Cayenne. I am sure I got a bunch of the saem type of comments coming back from the beach a couple of weeks ago when flying by a whole lot of everything SUVish. I hit an open stretch where I bet I averaged in the 120 to 130 range for about 30 minutes or so. That Cayenne is actually smooth, predictable, stable and very easy to drive at high speeds. Gotta love Porsches no matter what they look like on the outside.

911pcars 07-28-2003 04:09 PM

Nothing personal I'm sure. Perhaps because it's an SUV, albeit a very good one.

Bandwagon alert! It's not an SC or Carrera or early 911, so it's the devil!

Embs 07-28-2003 04:17 PM

I don't think Mike was particularly blasting the Cayenne, just the idiot behind the wheel. Some people think that "certain" vehicles give them additional road-going rights. It doesn't matter to me whether it's a Porsche or a Yugo, a lack of courtesy to fellow motorists is the issue.

Mr9146 07-28-2003 04:27 PM

Embs got it right. But, you've got to admit that the Cayenne factor just adds to the moronathon going on with that guy. I mean, all he needs is a pair of clown shoes to make the whole thing gel ... lol ... clown shoes and a Porsche SUV, now that's a sight to see.:D

red-beard 07-28-2003 04:32 PM

Reminds me of the old Gary Larson "Farside" cartoon.

Picture from the observation deck of a Nuclear Power plant. Supervisor says: "What does that clown think he's doing?", as a clown strolls across the control room.

"just because you can afford it doesn't mean you know how to drive......" a quote from me :D

I'm afraid my anti-SUV bandwagon consists of me and a handful of San Francisco bike messengers. In other words, I know I'm definitely in the minority. But I'm sticking to my guns!!

BTW, I worship the 993, especially because it's the devil.

old_skul 07-29-2003 11:19 AM

Oh, don't get me wrong - I'm as anti-SUV-as-a-daily-driver-unless-you-have-an-obvious-need as they get - but it's just the "thing" to do around here - slam the Cayenne and 996. Shrug. It's a normal part of any internet community I think - clowning the big guy. In this case, Corporate Porsche.

Sherwood I'm SO glad to hear that you drive a mini van too....it helps with my credibility. I feel much better now. Thanks

lukeh 07-29-2003 03:00 PM

I am not coming at you MIKEZ, just giving you all something to think about. I HATE it when you come to an intersection and your lane has no lines but is wide enough to have 2 cars next to each other. In an ideal world, if the driver plans to go left or straight, he would move as far left as he could. This allows a driver to get buy and turn right on red if nothing is coming. However, some idiots sit right in the middle of the lane with no turn signal on. With the way people almost never signal now days, you have no clue what they are doing. It ticks me off if they are going straight or turning left because if they would have moved over 3 feet you could turn right and not have to sit wait for them. I have a little Civic and many times I can get bye the guy sitting in the middle of the lane. So last week I slide buy an SUV and try to turn right. The guy hits his horn and yells "what the hell are you doing". I look up suprised and he yells "next time wait your turn". I yell back "if you are turning then next time use your signal". That got me the finger. So MIKEZ, the guy is a jerk either way for giving the finger, but were you all the way in your lane and did you have your signal on.

Joe Bob 07-29-2003 04:32 PM

We were all the way over and the signal was on.....There could not have been more than 18 inches between my door and the curb.....what got my attention was him revving the motor with with the brake on......

reminds me of driving in Korea for the first time a few years back. I kept noticing that drivers crossing a single-lane (and a narrow lane at that) intersection straight ahead would crowd the center line something awful. I kept thinking "what, are they trying to intimidate oncoming traffic or something?" and then noticed that other drivers now could pass and turn right without having to wait for the light to change. I thought, "how cool! y'd never see that in the U.S!" in general, I found that drivers in Korea are much more aggressive and expedient than their American counterparts. which really begs the question "then why the hell do they drive like molasses courses through their veins when they come here!?!?" :D

rcwaldo 09-09-2003 07:01 PM

that Cayenne driver did this by accident, you see his mullet got tangled in his gold chains and distracted him. All on accident......

ronin 09-09-2003 07:37 PM

duuude, guys with mullets can't afford Cayennes :D

rcwaldo 09-09-2003 08:09 PM

well, then maybe he was busy listening to his 'Smokey and the Bandit' soundtrack?

My wife wants an SUV (again). If we could afford a Cayenne, I would actually like to have an S. I sat in one recently, impressive!

embarrassing to say, but I've actually had secret fantasies about a black T/A with t-tops and the gold firebird on the hood recently. hmm, maybe my mullet's beginning to act up again....

yes it is. no matter what the naysayers might say. the turbo would be my choice. I've had the privilege of perusing a turbo at the local dealership and it was impressive indeed

cassisrot 10-22-2003 10:33 AM

"He is too Rude" V. Lenin was talking about Stalin, but he could have been talking about 90% of the drivers I encounter on the road today. My wife thinks they are just clueless and don't realize how inept they appear, but the ones that speed up when you pass them, brake when you catch up behind them or move right when you want to turn right next to them are making conscious decisions that are just plain rude. I think it might be a generational issue, or it is just the boom crowd and their children.

The solution I have found for the aggressive drivers who like to tailgate and finger is to join the NRA for a year just to get the membership sticker for your back window. The thought that you may be armed and dangerous (especially with DV plates) does seem to remind people that you may be as ****ed up as they are and armed to the teeth as well.
