Unholy unions
The other day I watched the unholy meeting of the too-large truck and the stereotypical chick on a cell phone. Finally, I thought, the highways two most hated enemies meet in a death match. Alas, it was not meant to be, they missed each other by millimeters.
It got me thinking though. Ever notice (And yes, I'm aware that's a stereotypical and obnoxious way to start a story, but screw you this is my website.) when you're on the road cars are just cars? When you're pointing out a cool/ugly/rare/weird car, they're just cars. Chunks of steel rolling down the highway on rubber. Inanimate objects devoid of any and all humanity.
Until they piss you off.
Suddenly they revert to people.
"That asshole!"
Never, "that Ford!"
I find this very strange.
