Really interesting article about how territorial expressions such as car modifications indicate who is more prone to roadrage. America’s love affair with the car makes this article wholly understandable. People who express themselves via their auto are “marking their territory” and aggressively defending it when they feel “threatened” by someone else who doesn’t recognize their sovereignty. Useless sub-primates.
I would expect this to also apply to POS small cars that people add tiny rims, spoilers, etc to so that they hope others won’t realize they drive a piece of shit. Also to vanity cars like SUVs, hummers, Harleys for middle-aged executives and certain sports cars driven for the sake of pretending you have a large penis, rather than the performance thereof (of the car, I mean, not the penis.)
