Bad day made better...
Today I was driving my C5 back from Texas. As I was trying to merge on to I10 on a very short ramp, some little weasel in a Suzuki Jeep speed up and tried to cut me off. About this time, I developed an instant case of (mild) road rage and put my foot in the accelarator and blew the little weasel away. Anyway the whole deal really got to me and I was in a pretty foul mood.
Then... About 30 minutes later I was crusing at about 75 in the center lane and 2 young guys in a Celica pulled up in the lane next to me. I was not paying a whole lot of attention but after a little while, I noticed they were still there. When I finally looked over at them, They both gave me 2 big thumbs up, then they sped away. Instantly my day was much better.

That's nuts. I've got two of those Samurais (Great woods trucks) and I'll tell you that my ZTR lawnmower will beat it in acceleration, handling and probably top speed.
Glad your day got better.
