What I do for fun.

First, a little back ground.

Two weeks ago, I was on my to work, driving WB on Sunset ave towards HWY 65.

As I approached the red light at the intersection, a red mid 90's Cavalier was towards me & decided to whip a U turn right in front of me and ends up waiting to cross HWY 65 like myself.

I was the third car at the light; Capt. Fantastic & one other vehicle were in front of me.

Light turns green & the 3 of us proceed across HWY 65 and we get into the #2/slow lane on Sunset Ave.

At this point, I envoked the Blessed Lady of Acceleration, changed lanes, and proceeded to pass the two vehicles.

After passing the two vehicles & the turn off intersection to go the Casino, I looked over my right shoulder to check for cars that are merging into my lane.
To my amazement, the Cavalier being piloted by Capt Fantastic is rapidly passing me in the area where there are arrows on the road indicating that the lane is about to end.

I removed my foot from the go pedal, as Capt Fantastic was clearly not going to stop for anything or anyone. As it happened, he ended up driving on the right shoulder and grass to complete his passing of me.

As I shook my head, Capt Fantastic sticks his balloon-holding arm out the window & flips me off.

Since we both turned left, I decided to see where this gentleman was headed.
He turns left into a parking lot down the road from my place of employment, while I continued straight, so as not to give away my intentions.

I turned right, as if I was headed to FED EX, but really made a U turn. Pulled over & waited a minute or 2, and then continued on to my mark.

Capt Fantastic's car was easily spotted as I entered the lot, however, he was nowhere to be seen.
I slowly pulled up next to it so I could take a few pictures of it.

While clicking away, I noticed a tall fellow briskly walking towards me, with a camera is his hand. He saying something, but I had Ramones on, and couldn't make out his mumblings. As I turned of the music, I realized that the fine fellow was Capt. Fantastic!!

And he was angry!

"Is that a race car?...Is that a race car?...", he kept yelling in that ****ed up voice that deaf people have. Turns out, he was partially deaf & had a Cohclear implant.

"He, buddy...slow down out there...you're gonna kill yourself or more importantly, someone else", was all I said to him in a calm, soothing tone, so as not to upset this beast any more.

I drove off & headed to work. My associate made the "For Official Use Only" sign, which I have been randomly leaving on Capt Fantastic's car.
Today, it was break time & he was sitting his ****box Cavalier.
The look on his face when I walked up to him & handed him his vehicle identification was awsome.

In the pictures below, the blue lines are me, the red lines Capt Fantastic.

You're a better man than I.

I would have kept accelerating and put him into the hillside when he tried to pass.
