About LinkBacksRant switch on...
So I am driving home from work today in rush hour traffic doing about 55-65 (its foggy with ice on the roads) when I see 4 blue lights, 2 head and 2 fog lights coming up behind me real fast. As it gets closer I notice it is a Charger with a cool hood. Cool I think, I will get out my trusty cell and snap a picture as it rides along next to me (wrong) The car whips in and out of cars to pull along side of me and proceeds to show me how fast his car is (in traffic with ice!!). My rant is this...
Why do some LX owners go out of there way to show me how fast and how crazy they and there car are? I have one and know that it is 5,000 lbs of terror that can kill someone in these conditions? If its a clear summer day on a lone highway that is fine (not legal but fine) but not at 4:30pm in bad weather. Lets quit showing off, drive up next to me, wave and let me admire at your car and press on.
Ok, rant switch off.
BTW: I snapped a picture of the car as it flew by me going at least 90 (hence the blurry picture). Does it look familiar (boy it needs a wash)...

Unfortunately.... Good Taste doesn't necessarily equate to Intelligence (especially when it comes to Road IQ)Why do some LX owners go out of there way to show me how fast and how crazy they and there car are?

I did sell it to a guy and thought I would never see it again. He has since had it back in Spokane from Phoenix 3 different times...
Why the F@#k would you spend the money on a specialty car and trash it. Why would you want to drive it in this weather from Phoenix to up here. We all know how bad the passes are... This just freaking pisses me off seeing it like this....#$%#

I was hoping you bought it back and was just in a hurry to get to a rest stop as the taco bell was trying to escape. Oh well, you still have the memories and all the 1st place hardware.

I guess he is doing that... You never saw me drive it in the winter... Those wheels where $1250 each when I had MHT do them for me and to see how dirty the back ones are makes you sick... The lips were a polished stainless... I am guessing not anymore..

don't ya just wish you could go and yank it out of his hands and slap him, and ask him what the hell he's thinking?
I've obviously never seen the car up close or at all for that matter, but just in the pictures it looks as though it was a show car and not a everdayer, especially the way he's using it.
