Darwinist Porsches!

[onager]

Well, it's the weekend, so I have time for some of my usual light, non-fattening, non-filling Content-Free (tm) posts.

Over in one of the Gearhead Fora (probably Jalopnik), I came across an interesting new theory of the universe.

DISCLAIMER: the following is only a scientific THEORY, like that evolution stuff, and should not be taken as an insult by any DU'ers who happen to own/drive a certain fine, rear-engined German automobile. As those DU'ers certainly know, Porsches demand a certain level of driving skill and respect from their drivers, or they will bite you.

REGIONAL DISCLAIMER: This rant is probably influenced by the fact that I live in the Los Angeles area, which is crawling with assholes who buy Porsches etc. as a fashion/penis substitute accessory. Not all of them work in the Entertainment Biz, though it seems that way sometimes.

I used to work near a "family-owned L.A. business" being run into the ground by the last of the progeny. He drove a Ferrari. Well, "drove" is probably not the right word. But it's shorter than "often stared angrily and cursed at Ferrari as it was being winched onto a flatbed wrecker when he couldn't get it started."

Anyway, onto the Porsche Corollary of Darwinism:

Axiom 1 - Porsches are often purchased by some of the most obnoxious, pretentious, nouveauly-richely, car-dumb douchebags on Earth.

Axiom 2 - Porsches often compensate by ensuring that said douchebags exit the Earth at a high rate of speed. Backwards. In a ball of fire.

1. I love Porsches

I drove one for a while, and got invited to one of the local Porsche club meetings. And yea, it was about what you'd expect - most of them were dickheads who bought a Porsche, not because they're fun to drive, but because it made their dick bigger.
