Kind of a funny story from a casual Sunday trip to Menards today. I was in the beast this morning, heading to pick up some hardware, and had kind of a strange experience. As I merged onto the freeway from my exit, I was instantly stuck in the right lane behind a vehicle traveling about 50mph. There was a line of cars in the left lane, traveling about 54mph. I was patiently waiting for the left lane to pass so I could accelerate clear of this mess, when a rusted out Chevy pick up came by me, and the driver went out of his way to give me the nastiest look. I didn't know what I had done to draw that type of attention, but looking at the truck (flowmaster stickers in the back window, dual 1.5" exhaust, the wire affixing it to the receiver hitch had let loose, allowing one side to almost drag the ground, and most importantly, a big pair of rubber balls hanging off of the hitch) I'm guessing he just had a problem with import cars. The car in front of me exited off the freeway, which allowed me to accelerate. Before I could, this truck decided to swing into the right lane and foil my attempt at shooting ahead of the crowd. He then decided to show me what he had, and kicked the pile of rust down, and slowly and loudly accelerated away ahead of me. I just held back , and watched this one man circus put on his show. It wasn't worth the ticket to put this guy in his place. As he sped ahead, the empty bud light cans (probably his breakfast) started flying out of his truck, and I had to dodge all over the freeway to avoid chipping up the car. A mile ahead, I noticed he was taking the same exit that I had to take to get to the hardware store, and out of curiosity, decided to follow and see where he was going. He pulled into an AutoZone (time for a new set of chrome exhaust tips?) so i drove by, then looped around and pulled in the lot after he had entered the store. I got out of the car, pulled out my pocket knife.......and cut those stupid rubber balls off the back of his truck I don't know what it is about those things, but they rub me the wrong way. Sorry for the long post, I just thought this was kind of funny.
