Adventures in Car Land

2 car stories:

First, I solemnly swear never to race Ben to work again. What started as innocent revving of engines while passing each other on Highland Drive ended up as a white knuckled all out nascar-o-rama including going 90 down I-80, cutting through parking lots to pass each other, and finally squeeling into our parking stalls Mitsubishi commercial style (which made everyone walking into work turn around and cheer). After words, we made the promise never to do such a stupid thing again. Best part- I was driving a mini-van and he was in an Accord station wagon. Stakes were high. Revenge of the Soccer Mom Cars!

Second, Yesterday I drove past a very eldery woman (who apparently had forgotten to put her dentures in). She was going the opposite way as I. I noticed she was motioning to me as I passed, so I looked over. She was giving me the thumbs down. I got booed by an old lady. After hearing my last car story, you might think I was speeding and she was telling me to slow down. No. You are wrong. You see we were facing each other at a stop sign and I had just pulled away from the sign heading towards her. I looked at my speedometer after passing her (in hopes that I WAS speeding and not being dissed by a great grandma) and I was doing a mere 15 mph.

Yep- the big thumbs down. From a 90 year old woman with an under bite. I do rock.
