Hey, on the way to work this morning (late as usual!),
I noticed a
guy driving a black convertible with daylight running
lights on, and
wearing a xmas stocking on his head. He was
approaching at a high rate
of speed (I was stuck behind some slug), and then
dropped in behind me.
It was a brand new F355 convertible.
Lucky for me, the slug merged to the left (why, I
don't know), which
opened up the road for me. I came up to the next fwy
on ramp, and the
F355 was right on my butt (90 something), and when I
hit the 55 mph
on ramp, the F355 slowed... I didn't... The truck
railed right around, and
onto the next fwy... After that it was all brains not
brawn getting
to the fastlane for me (the F355 made some pretty poor
lane choices), but
once again caught up to me in about 5 minutes. I hit
more traffic
that I had to negotiate around (why can't people
understand "Slower Traffic Keep Right"??) and pulled
about 1/2 mile ahead of the F355 before he started to
make a charge up on me (ever go 90+ and see someone
approach from behind 50 mph faster than you!?!?! <--
besides the cops :) Right when he was about to reach
terminal velocity, I noticed a CHP evil knivel
finishing up a ticket on the fastlane shoulder. I
gave the brake a quick "tap-taptap-tap,
tap-taptap-tap" to let the F355 know to watchout, and
we both passed the CHP (as he was starting out) at no
more than 68 mph (65 is the limit)... He waved as I
got off the fwy shortly there after, with his xmas
stocking flapping in the wind...
So I really didn't really beat him, only pulled away
in the corners... So I could say I 'out handled' him.
:P Fun nevertheless.
