Rep Power: 400

So I'm pulling out of the road by my work, heading toward the freeway. Across the way, I see a vehicle with... now count them.... 8 lights on the front. Two headlights, two normal fog lights, and 4 other fog light looking things. Probably for hunting down deer in his truck while driving in fields at night.

So as he pulls out behind me, I see it's some type of pickup. I go to get on the freeway and he's on my butt. I'd normally leave him in the dust, but my car hasn't warmed up yet. As he passes me on the freeway I see a confederate flag ductaped to the back window (what state am I in again?) and what looks to be a white t-shirt tied around the back bumper, seemingly holding it in place. I assume the bumper got damaged when he backed into his gravitationally challenged (read: fat) wife. I mean, I'd also use the shirt off my back to tie my bumper on.

As he gets ahead of me, I see a broken tail light with the classic red tape over it to make it "look" fixed, and get this.... a string tied to a beer can hanging off the back of the trailer hitch. I will assume this serves for some sort of aerodynamic purpose, as do all the dents on the entire body of the truck. I also assume that the black/grey smoke coming from the exhaust system is simply excess waste from the surely premium grade race gas he is using.

Now that my car is warmed up, I decide to get around the cloud of smoke he's leaving behind and start to pass. I go by and he gets in my lane and on my butt. I move over and he paces me. I am going to assume he has that common domestic-idiot reaction where he goes into redneck stomping mode when seeing a car with the letter "H" on it. He comes up next to me, and there it is..... GRRROOOAAANNNN. That magical moment when his truck downshifts for the purposes of accelerating to a higher rate of speed..... usually when towing your mobile home. The sound of the exhaust is almost enough to shatter my window. It's true intent, however, is probably to cover up the 80year old tractor sound of the soon to die engine.

I do not downshift. But merely go near WOT in 6th gear. We are going 70mph. I keep about even with him, though he pulls slightly, to about 95mph. I downshift to 4th. Goooooooodbyeeeeee.

I begin to slow back down from mach 1 to exit, and he speeds up, cuts in front and takes the same exit. We get to the stop sign to turn (you can only go right because there is a median blocking any left turn) and he decides to go left..... I mean why go right for 100feet and turn around, when you can merely jump over the large median, tear up the grass and save yourself 10 seconds of time in getting to your destination??

Anyways, just thought I'd share this experience. I hope none of you feel violated by wasting time to read it.

Man...I see this all the time. I live in Dallas, TX and have to drive on I-35 to get to work--long story short, every day I have to watch out for these huge lifted pickups being driven like the road belongs only to themI try to stay ahead or out of their way, lest they squish me like a soda can![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

I wish it was me in that s2000 though... but downshifting to speed up on the freeway must've had him like, "WTF?!" Damn, the average Hicky Honda Hater is not even gonna know what kind of Honda they're going against.

AND I HATE THAT GROANING SOUND! WTF! Dude, you should've just beared more of that sound, and have him stay on your ***... he'll rev his engine until it overheats... when I think about the possibility of that happening... f'ck downshifting! [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
