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^)

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

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

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.

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.

You see all kinds in LA

My kid would flip him the bird right back. Especially if he had Minnesota plates!

Humm

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.

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

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

Where were you turning?

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$$ out anymore because you never know who might have a loaded gun. The wifey says better a live ******* than a dead hellraiser.
It is really hard to keep my mouth shut and hands below the dash. I just have to think (or wish) that the idiots get a good a$$ whooping every now and again for being so damn stupid.

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$. But in the process of showing off and being a complete arsehole, he has made it painfully obvious to the world that, in fact, he HAS NO PENI$.

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.

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.

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