Driving pet peeves

I can’t remember when exactly this was, but I am 99% sure it was after COVID; I started dating Amanda in January 2023 and can’t remember if it happened before that…

Once again, I was on 611 South, and I was stuck in slow moving traffic in the right lane; I got an opening and signaled to get into the left lane. As I was doing this, in a case of bad timing (and reckless driving by the part of the other guy), a green 1990s Mazda Miata blew past me going way too fast. The Mazda driver blasted his horn, swerved into the center turn lane to go past me, and then cut back in front of me.

Whatever…

The Miata then sped ahead and got into the right lane; I thought nothing of it, but then he purposely swerved back in front of me as I passed. He swerved back into the left lane at the last minute.

I’m no expert in physics, but I think that even a 5-lug RC Taco is winning a fight with any small sports car. If I hadn’t been paying attention, I likely would have driven THROUGH that Miata. The driver would have been very badly hurt at a minimum, and I would have suing him and/or his family for damages to my truck.

 

Having the wife in front passenger seat while i'm driving. This make me realize how stupid I am. Opps, I meant how stupid she thinks I am.
