... but ya do 'em anyway?
I went into the office today, and since the 101E-405S route back home is always congested on Saturday afternoons, I took Malibu Canyon Rd. to the Pacific Coast Highway. Now, I've always said that there's a lot of drivers in SoCal who have more money than driving ability, and buy sports cars they can't (or won't) drive as they were intended; I've left behind lots of cars I had no business outhandling or outrunning. So, right before PCH becomes 3 lanes from 2, I come immediately behind this AMG SL55 in front of me at a light. I gun the engine a couple of times and figure that even if I can't outrun him, when we get to the curves up ahead, he'll just fold like so many other drivers around here.
<sigh>
Turns out he wasn't like them after all. I got beat like a runaway slave.
