Unsafe at any speed

When i read the story last night i figured it's just another story ; until now unsafe at any speed reminds me of the Broadway play turned into a motion picture. Glengarry glen Ross but a comedic version of it while the motion picture and broadway play was more serious. There are similarities between the story and glengarry glen ross it takes place in a office scenery. Ernie is the comedic version of Al Pacino's character Ricky Roma the hotshot douchebag of the office. While Theo reminds me of  a character of James lingk played by british actor Johnathan Pryce . Both Theo and Ernie are in a dialogue in the story ; same as in the movie. I feel that this is a homage to glengarry glen ross.
