Haha I was thinking the same.

Chilly this morning (see my "Brrrr!" thread ). Between last night and this morning I had three obnoxious honkers, none of which made any sense. Last night, with literally 15-20 ft between the stopped-at-a-light traffic in front of me and the honker behind me, the idiot drops to neutral starts to rev his small pe-- I mean big engine. Dumbass. This morning on Riverside Drive, I'm flying "at speed in excess of twenty five miles per hour" (gosh I love Phil & Paul's cycling commentary ) which is nearly the speed limit, and a driver in the fast lane honks all the way passing me. In my mirror I had clearly seen that that car had been in that lane the whole time it was in view, WTF? Finally after crossing Times Square with yes, another red light ahead and all sorts of trucks and taxis double-parked, etc (i.e. barely room for one car, let alone a bike and car) a taxi driver lays on the horn, passes me when there's enough room and slams on the brakes. Dork!

The good part is that I laughed inside at all of them and didn't say anything stupid to add fuel to the fire, so to speak. Getting jaded I guess. Anyhow, despite all that nonsense, I wasn't upset at all. Great commutes enhanced by the delicious (though chilly!) Fall weather. Last night's commute home is one of the best I've ever had. Very strong wind blowing with cloud cover cleared the Greenway of most peds. I drafted off of a strong roadie for a couple of miles (thanked him for it, of course) then was virtually alone in the fading light, with only the sounds of the choppy Hudson and wind gusts to accompany me. Fantastic!
