better day today!

We were coming up to a stoplight and a car ran a stop sign (from a side street) so he could get there first I guess.

Anyway, There's a grassy divider separating the traffic lanes and wouldn't ya know it...Here comes a dude on a lawnmower!!!
He sat there for a minute and I actually thought he was going to wait till traffic cleared.
Once again... wrong!!! That Son of a bh starts mowing... shooting dust and grass everywhere! .
When I got to where it was we were going, I looked at the car. I had grass all over the drivers side and it was covered with dirt!
Btw..If I had gotten to the light 1st, I would have been out of the mowers range cuz of some shrubs.

Oh, now I see the grass story. I think you guys need to go back for some more sun and fun in the islands and forget about the real world for awhile Man, I know that grass thing would have really pissed me off!!

My pet peezes are dumba**s who have to come to a stop so close that if ya farted you'd blow out their headlights (no Ray that's not a suggestion ). I think you should have just a bit of thoughtfullness toward something as fine as a vette. Even if they have no appreciation of these cars we kinda like um.

It appears to me that a lot of the world lacks "give a ****" anymore

Thumbs down

I just finished a trip to West Virginia to see dear 'ol mom after her open heart (she's doin' fine).

At 3 lovely, and seperate, occasions I've had the "pleasure" of having Mr and Mrs Mom and Pop Redneck decide they needed to perruze over into the passing lane at 50 mph and not go any faster. Now, normally I wouldn't have given that a second thought as its' happened plenty of times to me driving other vehicles with no ill affect...most see the error and correct their lanes allowing you to pass. These 3 wonderful moments I experienced was certainly done with malice. I would see tons of cars pass these yahoo's with no problem until I had approached to pass...then they pull the last microsecond left lane switch...having me stand on the brakes to avoid hitting them let alone making me go from 75mph to damn near nothing in a blink of an eye! Then to make matters worse, I could see every driver/passenger laughing their azzes off! I'm thinking by this time:WTF!! Adding salt to the wound, they begin to slow down even more! In the passing lane of a major interstate! Again: WTF??!! It ends up with me having boiled blood and having to pass to the right.

So, folks...they are out there...the few who hates, or is jealous of, success and/or the car you drive! Simple dumb 's!!!!!

I hate looking in the rear view mirror and all you can see is a Hummer grill. (Any speed, any lane.) Makes me wish for some of those James Bond car tricks to back them off.

That's why we need James Bond Gadgets like machine guns in the headlights, thumbtacks to spill on the road, oil to slick the roads for a-holes behind us. Actually it would be way cool if the vettes could instantly become hover crafts and fly right over the red neck bastards! That'll scare the crap out of them in a heart beat.
