"You know your in Massachusetts when, during a snowstorm, you try and go off from a stop, at a 2-4% incline, gain no traction, and there is always someone behind you to blare the horn as your poor car zig-zags up the incline, through the light, just in time to see the light turn yellow. Said person behind you makes sure you know that you "inconvienced" him / her by passing you, illegally, at the next light, as your wheels lock up, almost slam into said pigfucker's SUV, as he/she flips you off, and proceeds through the intersection, WHILE THE LIGHT IS RED, and cars all around him / her are locking up and sliding."
Fucking SUVs. I wish I had voodoo powers so I could poke holes in the tires of those damn things every time they piss me off
