irritating to good

Driving in to work today, I noticed a blue Honda right up on my ass that started flashing its lights and then backing off. I'm not a big fan of traffic anyway, and it was bumper to bumper at about 15 mph, so it's not like I could go faster or anything. It kinda irritated me, but I tried to blow it off and keep going. About a mile later, I moved over to the exit lane and he sped up to parallel me and tapped his horn to get my attention. I glanced over, and he was leaning forward, giving me the thumbs up. Confused, I thumbs-upped him back, and then he pulled ahead. When he did, I noticed a Kerry Edwards sticker on his bumper, and realized he was trying to show support for my angry political bumper stickers ("Bush is a punkass chump", "Bush & Sons, formerly the United States of America", "Ignore Your Rights and They'll Go Away", and two anti-W stickers on either side).

Yeah, it is a sound designed to be irritating and to grab one's attention by said irritation, but I'm glad the driver made the extra effort to show it was meant to be supportive.
