So I pass him, switch back into the right lane and just cruise. I hear this VREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, the Cobalt busts past me on the left side, must be going 60 or 70 on Mowry, which has a 40 speed limit, cuts in front of me for no damn reason and then slams on his brakes. I swerve left to avoid him, and then we hit a red light. I'm at the intersection waiting, he's next to me, lowers his window and gives me the finger. I'm like wtf, whatever. This Indian dude is like 45-50 has a kid in the back seat and is cussing me out. Telling me to go back to China or some ****. I'm just like **** it, my windows up, I pump up the volume on my stereo system.

Light turns green, he peels out zips in front of me, merges into my lane then slams on the brakes. I just shift over to the right to avoid him. He does this like 2-3 more times on Mowry. We finally hit the 880 and he goes northbound, except he misses the onramp, almost wipes out.


****** had a kid, and a serious problem. They gotta stop handing out licenses in cracker jack boxes around here.
Just get out of the car. This old dude in a Mercedes almost cut me off and got pissT cause I wouldn't let him merge into the side of my car. We stopped at a stoplight and he was threatening all this heinous ****, so I got out of my car and he freaked out and drove through the intersection, almost hitting a truck.

I bought 3 remote-control 8's from some guy here. They're freakin awesome! I just drive them around throughout my lunch break.

Someone come over so I can have a race!

^ That's freaking cool, are they detailed replicas. I want one of those that run on nitro or something like that. They are freaking expensive though, like $500.

They're really fun. They aren't super detailed, but they look nice and they were cheap. I'll bring them on Sunday.

I encounter crazy drivers on 280 all the time going to and from work (35 miles each way). Almost got hit today on the way home. Gal on a cell phone surved into my lane from my right while she was talking. There was no one ahead of her and nothing on the road. She was butt ugly. Yuck. Guy in the suv almost nailed me on the passenger side last week.

Did see a hot latina though while waiting at a traffic light.

As far as seeing RX's on the road, they usually are seen within a short time frame.

It's too bad I wasn't there with you because I would have whipped out my oversized gut right in front of him and scar him for life.

In that case I'll bring my RC monster truck. The RC RX8 is inoperable though. The control arm is broken.



Check out this link: I'd go but I'll be in Israel.

my bad, Zach. my daughter decided to take an underwater picture of the rubber frog using my phone.

I'm not even sure if I'd be able to make it on Sunday... I'm in the process of painting my wheels.
