Funny story,
Last week I'm leaving work when I see a friend of mine coming into the parking lot. He looks at the 03 and goes ape shit. There are not many 03's in El Paso, I have only seen one other a mineral grey coupe. Anyway, I never drive the 03 to work. I have a company car. My friend loves the car and asks for a quick trip on the loop. So I take him on the loop, a very desolate stretch of four lane highway. I get on it a little bit and take him from 20-80 so he can hear the blower whine, he loves it. He's got this huge grin on his face. I decide that I need to get him back so I can do the Christmas shopping.
On the way back this clown pulls up to me in a Chevy Lumina. He stomps the gas and lets off two or three times he obviously wants to race. Racing just isn't my style but I'm not about to get punked by a Lumina. Anyway, the guy takes off. I pass him and put about 10 car lengths on him. I slow down and let him catch up. Then the clown attempts to do the "ricer flyby." I don't let him I accelerate and keep him about a car length behind me. THEN IT HAPPENS. SMOKE FROM THE HOOD OF THE LUMINA. The guy romps the brakes, the rear end of the car picthes up and he swerves over to the shoulder. It was friggen hilarious. My and my buddy are cracking up. Anyway I don't stop, I return to the office.
I go into the office and remember that there is a report that I need to draft. I finish the report about an hour later and head home. I get to the loop and the LUMINA guy is still under the hood of his car. I give him a complemantary "Honk, honk" the guy looks up from across four empty lanes and throws me "The Bird." It was friggen priceless.... Anyway I just had to share.
