RUNNING ARGUMENT

Is it all men who think women with a powerful car wants to drag race out of the gate after being stopped at a traffic light?

OK, I can understand two young punks in Corvettes neck to neck revving the engines and giving each other the eye before squealing the tires and laying a track as the light turns green. But not some woman in a Grand Prix next to a middle-age man in a classic Chevelle.

The guy in the Chevelle might want to race or believe the woman is in a hurry to beat him to the next light, but she's only thinking about what kind of fabric she wants to upholster her sofa with or how good she looks in a fast car.

She might take off like a bat out of hell because she's late, but I don't think it's likely that she wants to floor it to show the guy next to her a thing or two about muscle cars.

Then again, I could be wrong. I have noticed an awful lot of young girls lately chomping at the bit and then give this grandma the finger as they whiz by.
