Objects in mirror are closer than they appear. Also, scary.

On occasion when motoring in das auto, one might discover a temporary travel companion that moves through traffic with you. Sometimes it’s annoying but usually it’s fun. In my overactive imagination, perhaps it’s a chase car.

But today, I kept seeing this god forsaken abomination of a Mazda 3 in my rear view. It literally has such a forced-grin front end fascia that it looks like a creepy anime clown. I’ve seen them before but never noticed this highly unique quality until today.

Every time I changed lanes or moved through the traffic, there it was… following me. Grinning the entire time.

Do not want!
