While driving home from my moms 80th birthday party I organized last night, I drove behind my gals Camry. I wanted to get out ahead of her but I figured I'd pass her at a new place I just found for the first time the other night. I had told her the story and her eyes rolled. So just as I am getting ready to make my move, and she blocks me by also cutting into the other lane. Wow. She really did listen to me the other day when I regaled her with 370z driving adventures.

I decided I would watch her lines as she drove and she is good. I need to get her to turn a tiny bit later to give her better exit speeds. This is my road and she normally goes the other direction so this makes it better.

I agree. You talked me into her.

Today the roads are wet and I'm on the verge of being late for work. Way off I can see a Porsche or is it one of ours, being held up by a truck. I catch up soon enough, and it is a 996 turbo.

The truck pulls over to let us by and it was wonderful. Apparently he too was late for something as we both picked the same pace to drive. After a mile of twists, he was about six feet further along than I as he must have been a tad later than myself.

When I arrived at my destination and waved good bye, I hoped I'd see the driver again.

Today is a boring post but I must defend the Prius today. WE were both stuck behind a Saab. I saw the Prius driver gesticulate, as I often do to the driver ahead, "WHY, WHY are you braking now???" I was already thinking it. So although I do hate Prius as the new Volvo bane, I can not fault this one today.
