Default Some days it doesn't pay to leave the garage

Waiting on the inspection line with the Corvette and this dumb *** Asian lady rolls right into the back of me! I yell at her - 'The exam building is over there' and the contractor behind her In a pickup truck starts cracking up. Some black smudges below my license plate that should come out. I take a picture of her license plate and she starts jumping up and down and waving her arms around - saying the marks were already there and she wants my picture too!

Then at the gas station earlier this morning the Pakistani dudes are yakking on the phone and no one is pumping - the lady behind me gets all impatient - throws one wheel up on the curb - and wants to drive around me! I start yelling at her and she clears my car by about an inch.

Sometimes it doesn't pay to take it out of the garage - but anyhow inspection station guys were loving the vette - they passed me even with no front license plate!

Not sure how this post is offensive and/or racist. He simply described the people as per their race/nationality. He didn't even say anything derogatory about them? I think you guys are either being way too sensitive or assuming things because of the context of the post.

I hate to say it but you are not the "jolly" good fellow. I think your references are seriously out of line here.

Well stated. I would like to expand on your statement.

If we would substitute "young","old", "tall", or "short". or "blonde" for "Pakistani" or "Asian" in the original poster's statement--would he still be worthy of all of this criticism and piousness shown by some of the posters on this thread?

When does a nationality become a slur? What is racist about being a Pakistani or Asian--or noting such? The OP used a adjective modifier to show that the person just isn't a normal smart Asian.

Let everyone not be quick to judge others as racist. Always surprises me that people who wouldn't ever use the "N" word---easily use the "R" word--when it involves people that they don't really know.

maybe something in the air, I was in a construction zone down to one lane and a jacked up pickup decided to drive down the median spraying rocks and what have you all over my car. Then coming home getting on the X-way the ramp has two lanes I'm in the left and the car in the right just came right over into my lane, had to go on the grass so he didn't hit me !!!!

Sorry to hear of your experiences. I do believe that our Corvettes are so impressive visually--that other drivers around us are sometimes distracted and end up doing dangerous things.
