Ever thought about "catching" a red light?

LOL!!! In TX it was a joke, I HAD a 2009 Maxima (RIP), then the 370Z as well as an ISF the whole time, and NO ONE, with their "Southern Hospitality" and such would EVER let me in, damn SEMIS were trying to gun it while I had my blinkers on.

When I had my Maxima I was about to get stickers made saying "My Maxima is more of an AMERICAN CAR than your CAMARO"

This reminds me of the same situation I have at an intersection here that is known by people to run the light. So there I was setting in the left lane, (just so you get the picture the right lane is supposed to turn but it gives just enough room once you get through the light to merge left, so everyone will pass everyone waiting their turn in the left lane to run up on the right and expect someone in the left to let them in or make them slam their breaks because they are coming over weither you like it or not.) So I am first in line in the left lane because I am going straight through and this young girl come up on the right on her cell phone and being very animated. you could tell she was pissed at someone. well the light turns for the traffic on the other side to turn left and I know that by the amount of traffic sitting on that side that not all will get through before it turns red, and knowing human nature the girl to my right was going to gun it to get in front of me. I looked over at my wife and told her to watch this. about that time the light turns green, about 4 people are starting to cross the intersection in front of us (light was red on their side for at least 2-3 seconds before they went through it) and I gun it. the girl beside me guns it as well because she has to get in front of all of us that waited our turn. The last person was a guy in a red truck and seeing his face as we come barreling down on him was great he clears my path just as I get to him but straight in the path of the young animated girl on her cell phone. she finally locks up her breaks to avoid hitting him but it made me feel good knowing one that nobody got hurt but more so that he will think twice about running a red light and the fact that the girl did not get in front of anyone that she had passed. BTW my wife turned about 3 shades whiter and that is very hard to do since she is a red head and already as white as casper.
