If the guy with the blown GT who was revving and gunning it alongside me on the 55 freeway in SoCal last night is in here, two sleeping toddlers in the back of the car (we were on our way to pick mom up from work) meant all you were getting outta me was a steady 70mph. Sorry man - next time.

This is happening more and more often - some d1ck in a new Lexus (white ESblah?) was all over my tail a couple of weeks ago (eastbound 55, just before it joins the 91), dying for me to race him. Yeah, ok, buddy. I wouldn't, and he got pissy when I moved from the 2nd leftmost lane to the leftmost to pass the granny in front of me, cos that was the moment he'd chosen to plant his foot and show me how fast his car was. We both move left at the same time (only, I actually have signals on my car, and utilize them), and he ends up feet from my rear-end. Stays there for about 30 seconds with his high-beams on, to teach me a lesson.
I'm all for a little showmanship, and last nights encounter was all good - the guy probably never jumped up over 85-90, before dropping back to regular highway speed. No dangerous moves, no humping my car's a$$. BUT, when someone sits on my bumper, tries to blind me with his high-beams and generally puts my kids lives at risk, all to showboat his heavy-a$$ Toyota POS, I'm not a happy person.
Same goes for the idiot in the SRT4 a month ago on the 91, the guy in the Camry (I mean, c'mon!) last night.

Must be the difference in hydrocarbon and rice-burner auto drivers.

She was begging me yesterday to let her drive my car to work. I don't think so
Just as well, too - I get in at around 2030, only to find her Exped sandwiched into a tight little spot. I would NOT have been happy to see my car in that spot!
It has it's perks, though - took 6 of us to NY for the weekend a while back for free, staying at the Hilton Times Square. I've earned over a million Hilton points (stay at the Hilton SF every week), and probably over 1/2 million United airmiles.
