I understand that, but after it starts it does not really matter who started it.

The circumstances of the situation could lead one to consider whether one should become in involved in the issue. A women hailing a taxi, who is drunk, with her husband chasing behind, while she's continuing to leave could likely mean they just had a fight. In this situation I would not want to be a part of. I did not think I had to spell this out, but maybe I do. Again, this is just my opinion, observation, and reading between the lines.
that has nothing to do with the conversation

I showed a picture of my car to a coworker and she said, "Wow, it doesn't look like a real car. It's like....from Cars!"

This thread on a whole is great, I'm not an owner (yet... I can dream about it though, right?) but I've struggled to keep from bursting out laughing in my cube at work, in response to some of these!
Get ready to laugh

She came over to the car and asked a couple questions. She then went to the passenger side. I opened the door for her and she got in. As she was closing the door I hear a voice yell "THATS MY WIFE". I look back and see this man running towards the car. Ok I know I'm wrong but it became an instant classic at that point. I glanced at her and she showed no sign of wanting to get out. At that point it was all Larini exhaust notes. Whats makes it even worse is that we were downtown so I could never make it further than a block before getting stuck in traffic. And he kept chasing behind the car. I couldnt fight the tears of laughter from coming down my face. Man I was so wrong but the pretty lady kept telling me to go. After about 3-4 minutes when I had enough distance on him I pulled over and let her out. She still didnt want to get out but she was kind of drunk so I didnt want it to go much further.

I stuck around until he caught up. I didnt want him to instantly go Ike Turner on her. That was the start to a really fun night.
I would have taken her to a hotel and paid with cash, left at 4am - but hey, that's just me.

I never thought I would contribute to this thread, but last time at the petrol station I got this:

female tank ward : "You have a very beautiful car! It's a Smart, right?"

At an autocross on Sunday, after working our corner assignment, one of the guys I was working the corner with asked if he could check out the Elise and sit in it....I said, sure. He sits in it and looks around and says, "Wow!.......your car has the same style air conditioning vents that my Mustang has!!!" He thought that was the neatest sh!t ever......
