This is really a pointless rant other than just getting it of my chest.
Yesterday was my birthday. My parents offered to watch the kids so my wife and I could go out. So, after dropping them of we jumped into the 911 and went cruising through the back roads in our township. It was really nice. With a three year old and a 2 month old we have not had a chance to spend much time alone recently.
This car pulls up behind us. Starts to rev its engine, turns his lights off and on...you get the idea. Fine, I just get going. He is riding my bumper. I just keep going. After the next stop sign, I take of a bit fast. Nothing crazy, but I get up to speed limit (55 mph). There is a SUV in front of me doing about the same. I maintain a good distance. The idiot behind me passes doing about a 100. Passes the SUV and barely misses the car coming in the other direction. His passenger (another idiot) learns out of his window and mouths "oh yeah" with his thumb pointing toward him as they pass. So these 2 fools, not only risked killing themselves but also risked my wife and I and the people in the SUV in front of us and the whom ever was in the car in the oncoming lane. I am sure they recounted their story of how they blew away a porsche to anyone who would listen. I wish I had got the plates, but as they were passing I was braking to avoid the potential accident. My focus was elsewhere.
So, in case you are wondering what "blew away" my 911. It was a chevy cavaliar with -count them 2 racing stripes and one of those noisy mufflers.
There...that feels a little better. Thanks for listening
