Spotted on the streets of our fair metropolitan area last night was a late-model Mercedes with vanity plates sporting an oh-so-clever variation of the word "capitalist." And I ask you, in an area that is alternately one of the richest and poorest in the country, is it really necessary to tell someone that your car is better than theirs?
You may expect a real post from me later in the week. I look forward to working with all of you folks in what is a very challenging and dynamic blogging environment. Seasons greetings.

speaking of douchemobiles, quite literally i might add, a bmw pulled up at 18th and riggs yesterday with the tags "VIJAY K".
ReplyDeletejust one step above a smelly hoo-ha, i suppose.
IF HE PARKS THAT CAR OR DRIVES THAT CAR IN THE WRONG NEIGHBORHOOD,
ReplyDelete^ WELL YOU KNOW THE REST OF THE STORY.
YO. ME MYSELF PERSONALLY,
I AM MORE INTO DRIVING GOOD OLD AMERICAN MADE MUSCLE CARS OF THE 1960s and 1970s
I FUCKING HATE IMPORTS
I FUCKING HATE SCIONS
I FUCKING HATE RYAN SEACREST TOO
Anonymous2--I must confess to a predilection for German cars (and I'll get a better one when I can afford one) but... how fucking obnoxious is THAT dude? He's one McCain sticker away from being vandalized.
ReplyDeleteSOME OF THE OLDER EUROPEAN MADE CARS ARE OK I GUESS.
ReplyDeleteBY OLDER I MEAN 30+ YEARS OLD AND NOT ANYTHING MADE RECENTLY.

FUCK A DAMN UGLY ASS SCION.
I'm still waiting for that 2010 Camaro convertible...hoping the price is WAY down by the end of next year.
ReplyDeleteI would love to race one of those sumbitches on I-270.
ReplyDeleteAnd, seriously, I've never encountered such a bunch of sore pussies on the Internet--ever.
ReplyDeleteThe joke on the capitalist, probably a newbie government contractor, low on class and taste and information: Mercedes is now what Cadillac used to be--the badge of aspirational members of ghetto communities. The Atlantic did a nice story on this "Inconspicuous Conumption" in their Jul/Aug issue.
ReplyDeleteAnon--I saw that article in The Atlantic. It was very insightful. It's not like that's a $70,000 car. It was very aspirational and gawdy. Disgusting.
ReplyDeleteman, these mercedes suck. i mean, it looks just like a kia.
ReplyDeletereally, a kia.
you'll only get props from me if you drive a 1980's era 240D. kthxdie.
A real douche mobile is an exotic Italian sports car.
ReplyDeleteI see them fairly often in Miami.
ALWAYS driven by assholes.
Lame post. He can be proud of himself all day long for all I care.
