I wasn't even the one weaving in and out of lanes, speeding, etc. I was just driving in a straight line for cryin' out loud. Don't get me wrong, I don't have a thing against New Yorkers. I had a problem with those particular guys though, who sounded as if they hailed from New York, Jersey, or nearby. See, I'm a hoosier and we're all polite drivers, with manners, and such. So, instead of getting into a shouting match with these guys down in Florida, I'd mind my own business, slow down, let them in ahead of me, then follow them at a distance til they got where they were going. Then when they parked their car,I'd get out of mine and shoot them.

Though my choice would be the standard issue HUMMV w/ a 25mm chain gun on the roof; I'd let my wife drive... that's weapon enough to scare white hairs and make youngsters into white hairs.
