Default Are you freakin' kidding me?!?

Was a nice day today, so I took the TT out, since it has been about a week since I've driven it.

I'm sitting about 5th in line at a stoplight when some kid in a Fast and Furious Chevy Cavalier pulls up next to me and starts revving. I look over and he's all like, "C'mon man....you and me....let's go!"...........mmmmmmmkay. Even if I did want to waste my time racing this fool, where did he think we were gonna go? We are 5th in line at a stop light on a crowded street. Sometimes I question the mental capacity of some people.

.....Then, about a mile later, some dude in a busted-a$$ Firebird goes by me with his left foot hanging out of his window (I guess he has an automatic). I got to thinking, OK, this might look moderately humorous, but what happens when you rear end someone and the steering column gets rammed right smack into your junk?.....*shudder*

Unreal! Equally absurd are Van drivers wanting to race me.

Forget the steering column, did it have an airbag?!

Default love the foot-out-the-window thing. how people even *get* in ...

that position while driving blows my mind. i've seen more and more of it in recent years, but it still leaves me agape.

It was a mid-80s Firebird, so I doubt it.
