Yesterday was strange from the get go.

While returning home after a light rain, I had with me six rifles and three pistols crammed inside along with $35,000 in cash, all obtained legally I assure you. This is the day I do not want to be stopped by the police and explain, so I am on my best behavior.

All went well, slowing anywhere that could be a potential problem up ahead around the bend. All went with out event until way up ahead, I saw the CHP. This is the recently reduced to 40 MPH zone. Once upon a time it was a 65MPH zone but that was in the past. I glance down and see I am near 50, so I let my foot off the gas and go by at 40. Sure enough the CHP starts to move. I panic and put the cash on my person thinking at least I'll be able to bail myself out if things go south.

Just then going the other direction, comes a hero it a hot hatch going 65-80.
The CHP did a U turn and That was that.

No room for a hot chick. I was on my way home to her. Besides, I had two long guns occupying the front seat floor boards to the head rest.

Today was a mix of emotions for me. I leave the garage and manage to allow the Lexus ahead, to let me go first , just as another car came and spoiled this. I followed the new car until he unexpectedly let me by. I waved and a half mile later, came to a stop sign. Here I waited for some slow mover to eventually not signal and therefore not cross in front of me. This small delay left me behind the septic tank pump truck.

But no, wait! the truck is waving me forward ahead of himself. Unbelievable.
It wasn't long before I met some other slow movers. Although my morning emotions were a mixed bag, not a bad bag, will be my final verdict.

I also had the XP8's put back on for Leaguna Seca at the end of the month.

Driving back from dinner at my mom's last night, I had had a bad driving day up until now. stop and go traffic and worse still, drivers who drive slowly after they fought to get to the stoplight pole position.

So while exiting the freeway a car ahead was exiting at 10 MPH. I passed in the left lane then back into the right lane ahead of her and stop at the red light. She pulls up, high beams blazing, and starts yelling at my for my maneuver. I stick my hand out the window and start making sock puppet, sans sock, blah, blah blah, motions. She and her passenger go nuts. He is yelling, you want me to kick your arse. I continue with my sock puppet motions. Eventually the light turns green and the SUV next to me takes off like he is the one being yelled at. I thought it best to put distance between me and the car behind so I got ahead simply to get stuck first at the next light. Once again the couple pulls up behind, yelling more, but what am I going to do.

Finally the light turns green and the road is open and those losers are now far behind, still blazing their high beams into my 'Home Link' mirror. Every other driver from the opposite direction, is flashing their high beams back to get her to turn them down.

I get in a few curves to myself when I encounter my least favorite car driving 20+ in a 55 MPH zone, as usual. The idiot in front of me is actually braking while going uphill. That is it! This day needs more driving fun and fewer idjits. I hit the gas and pass this thing, and Mr. Hybrid hits his high beams. Another satisfied customer.

From here it really was a good drive home. The only other car saw me and used a turnout and I jetted past. No more slow cars all the way home.

:ugh2: sounds like a bad day all around. I always wonder if things like that are happening around me and based on my mood my perception of them is skewed...good mood....lalalala here I am....turn up the music mind wandering until I have a free road...other times fuming and tailgating and pizzed off still when I arrive home...
Just curious thoughts I have.
Did you see that I had mine out Sunday:tup: omg!! And it's snowing today:ugh2:

On the plus side, you can drive your Z year round. Tomorrow will be a better drive :tup:

It ended on a high note anyway. Yesterday was a better day all around.

I do need to be grateful, that I get to drive year round.

Thank you both for reminding me.
