Inferiority Complex - holly1
My car is starting to give me an inferiority complex. From day one, I found people behind were flashing their lights at me - not every driver, maybe one or two each evening, but enough to start me wondering what's wrong with my car. Its always people from behind, never in front or to the side.

Constantly checking my car to make sure its all OK, lights work fine, my driving is pretty good, so just don?t understand what it is. However, last night I think I worked it out??

Hubbie and I were driving home from the shops. Car behind started flashing at me, I ignored it and continued to somewhere safe to stop to check if my car was OK. One mile later they gave me a toot on their horn, not a "you idiot" toot, more of a "hiya" toot.

Anyway, got to next junction to find they pulled up alongside me - a beaten up wreck with 4 young lads wearing baseball caps inside, radio blaring out and tinted windows. They seemed to have an obsession with my car.

Got home, checked my car and then discovered that from outside my car looked just like theirs, black inside and out makes it looks like I have dark tinted windows ..... combined with the standard rear spoiler and Lexus style rear lights it look just like a young lads car.

If only they knew I was much older, married and had a boot full of groceries?..
