100 word story: hard-nosed hybrid

I was in line for the coffee truck yesterday and the women in front of me were commenting on the nearby cars. The closest car was a grey and silver hybrid with a jutting front end and shark’s fin aerial. I heard one mutter as she walked past: “That car has an attitude..it looks angry grumpy.” She gave me a meaningful sidelong glance as if I was the grumpy man in the angry car. I placed my order consoled by the fact that just one coffee later I wouldn’t look like a grumpy angry man driving a grumpy angry car.
