SLOW DOWN STUPID! Gee, thanks :)

Found a nice little sign trapped beneath Opus's driver side windshield wiper.

Looks like I p-o'ed someone by zipping around

I'm actually surprised at the work that went into this:

- nice big block letters

- shading

It's not everyday that I get an honour like that

I feel all "special"

Whoever it was is probably mad because they drive a slow boring non fun car. I like to call them fun killers. The ones that are always taking turns at 5mph or the ones thatcut you off so they can beat you to the off ramp that as a sweet banked turn.

A citation from an officer of the law would not have used the word, "stupid", but it would have probably lightened your wallet. Consider yourself lucky.

I'm gonna give OP the benefit of the doubt and assume they weren't doing anything stupid or dangerous. Some people just don't like to get passed. Therefore:

hahaha, that's great. I've been tempted to leave people a "you park like a douche bag" note, but not a speeding one.

Put it on the inside of your window & go about your regular business.

People telling me how to drive is one thing that I do not tolerate.

Funny, we think its "nice" if they didn't key you. It would have been "nice" if they just kept their opinion to themself! ;-)

I believe my car may have been keyed out of jealousy, so consider yourself lucky

Also, at least you don't get honked at for not running pedestrians down who are crossing at a crosswalk. Happens in NY all the time.

You mean that lever has a purpose apart from balancing the look of the wiper lever on the other side of the steering wheel? Cool!

I'm actually a very diligent signaller. My buds used to laugh at me when I used to work in the woods and signal when turning on woods dirt roads with no one around for miles

Ya’ll are hilarious...

I was thinking it might be someone that knows you. If I was pissed at you and wrote you a note, I would have scribbled it down it CAPS and wrote it like I was pissed... anotherwards, sloppy and mad looking, not someone to take the time to write out block letters and then take the time to fill them in.

Hell, by the time I filled them in, my anger would have subsided and I would have ended up sending you a note inviting you out for a coffee...


I just hate it when someone leaves a note. If you have something to say to me, have the ***** to say it to my face instead of writing a stupid note.

On a side note, Danny, that image you used of the eagle (hawk?) on the water is cool as hell. Talk about being in the right place at the right time.

Holy cow! Some people take themselves way too seriously. Gotta lighten up and worry about other things that are more important.

JMHO,

LMAO! I would need to print out sheets of tags that said that if I were to put them on cars.
