Actually, I have begun to notice a correlation between the color or make of a car and the driving habits of the owner. For examples, the "children"* tend to drive red cars, usually Rabbit/GTI convertables or the little BMW's (530i's, I think). The "slowpokes" tend to drive large American cars [can you spell tank]. [*: Children (n): A type of driver who does absolutly idiotic things on the road, like attempting to do 15 mph faster than everyone else by darting in and out of lanes. The great gods of the highway will get them someday] Has anyone else noticed this correlation??
