I about fell out of the chair laughing. Nothing like a little photoshop enhancement! Good job on the ricer though. You have some serious self control.

"I wonder if he's on a Honda Civic forum, bragging about how he blew away an "old Corvette"..."

That's great.

I know it must have been hard to resist the temptation, but the end result justifies the means.

Poor guy probably can't pay the rent or buy formula because the pending ticket took all his money....oh well. I'll try that the next time a Vette is behind me and I'm driving my rice. Vette drivers have lots of money so probably no big deal.... Still must have been fun watching that one play out.

Tailgating another auto on the hwy is irreponsible...and illegal...and IF he was married with children, then maybe he just got a lesson in maturity...he can also take the option of "working" the fine off...picking up trash along the highway on weekends...
