- Around Boston, we seem to have the "Somerville rules" and the "Concord rules".
- In blue-collar Somerville, the largest and/or most battered car has the
- right-of-way; in yuppie-scum Concord, it's the most expensive car! So if
- it's a battle between a phlegm-colored '66 Dodge Polara and a new Mercedes
- 190, the outcome depends on the locale...
-
- Nevertheless, I was very surprised when driving through Concord the other day
- and a BMW driver actually obeyed a sign and yielded right-of-way to me and
- my lowly Corolla. Then I realized that my paint was a slightly different
- shade of silver than his, and it would have clashed horribly had he hit me...
