Kicking or hitting a car that’s almost run you over is a hard instinct to stop. Like, I don’t bang on them or anything in anger, but just the instinct to fling out an arm or a leg to shove it back is intense if you’ve never been caught unaware by it. Escalating to shooting over that is nuts, also kind of nuts that he was in an actual car and not an emotional support truck, which is the kind of vehicle I usually expect the terminally carbrained to drive.

Whatever happened to a good ol' "I'm walking here!" Said with a strong Brooklyn accent.

It is said by Dustin Hoffman's character, Rico, in the 1969 movie "Midnight Cowboy."
