I was coming home from DC, just picked up my gf... just cruising and i see this taurus just swerving, cutting off people, like he owns the road or something. i didnt mind until he cut me off. couple of lights later we get caught at a red light. he's on the left and im on the right. the problem was that there is a car parked about 100ft ahead of me. so we both wot it when the light turns green and i almost hit the parked car. i was about half a cars lenght ahead of him when i cut him off. well, i was like what the hell!?!? that taurus is fast... but i found out that it was the newest lincoln continental. how fast are those? man, i almost died, but i taught him a lesson.

Yah what Paul said don't kill Maxine before the Maxus, I wanna see alot of my 5th gen. buddies in FloMax's pictures. Hell after the Maxus we all might as well hire someone to total our cars so we can all get a hefty insurance sum and buy the new 2002s.... I'm kidding Kev. I don't want the PoPo's on my a$$...KIDDING ok. lol

 

man, that sounds like it was close... see you at Maxus!

 

Oops... looks like we had a little accident on Route 80 on the way back from Maxus. LOL. I'll ask the tow truck driver to take me to the Nissan dealer.

 

oh yeah, i totally forgot maxus was right around the corner. i guess i should be more careful. but nah, im not banging up my car... im just conditioning and preparing for maxus instead... =)
