Beaten by a...
The night was young, and the time was right... Oh yes. It was time to go out for a cruise in the Camaro. I climbed into the old beast and gave the accelerator a few pumps before cranking her to a start.
I made sure to warm up the engine at varying RPMs for several minutes, to thoroughly test the nerves of the a-hole next door, and insure that I was at a proper operating temperature before leaving rubber out of my driveway.
I quickly made my way for the nearest highway whilst choosing proper music for the mood... Ah yes, Van Halen's first album from start to finish sounded good tonight.
I made my way onto the on-ramp and down shifted into second for the merge quickly overtaking the other cars on the road, but nothing prepared me for what I encountered next... ALAS... I was closing on a gray turd moving at approximately sixty five in the far left lane. I glanced over my right shoulder for a passing opportunity, but a line of cars behind a Ford truck towing a boat was blocking my one and only shot! I hastily downshifted and my worst nightmare was confirmed as I began to decelerate... A Prius with a lethargic driver! I had only a seconds before the road shifted over to only two lanes, and I knew I had to think fast... I signaled to the right and prepared to pass as I cleared the fishermen in the Ford. I made my move, only to be greeted with a pair of tail lights quickly growing closer. Prius to the left I pushed the pedal to the floor, but I couldn't believe what was happening. The Prius had begun to accelerate! As the car in front filled my windshield, I angrily slammed on my brakes, only to be overtaken by the hybrid menace...

And then you look like and idiot because since you cant pass them you swerve lane to lane in order to find an escape. But alas, THERE NEVER IS ONE!!!! Even when I'm in my dd I pay respect to others in sports cars as well. Want to know why? One word...karma.

That's like the idiots around here that drive just slow enough to make sure you stop at the next light while they speed up and drive through
