Speaking of the bustman, when I did my front end rebuild I went for a test drive. I live in a rural area and when I pulled out onto the hwy someone came up on my tail pretty quick. The roads are hilly and it was after dark and I didn't have my glasses which kinda need at night to see good. Well I was going about 10+ and a couple of time run it up about 20+ trying to get ahead of the jerk on my ***. When we got up to the stop (about 5 miles from home) he turned on his lights. I told him I was just trying to put a little room between us and he said he backed off (which he didnt). In the end he was pretty cool about it and let me go. I didn't even have my DL with me.
