Default C5-c6-dps
This morning I was driving from Austin to San Angelo to see my son stationed at Goodfellow Air Force Base. After about 60 miles I see a car coming up fast behind me, it stays behind me until we get to Llano. At the stop light it pulls up next to me and its a C6 with a lady driving. Light changes and I head out towards Brady with the C6 behind me. She stays behind me for about 50 miles, we were doing 70-80. A few miles out of Brady she decides to pass me...OK I'll follow her for awhile. She suddenly got in a hurry, we were doing 85-90. Once we get to the edge of town the speed limit drops to 40, she's doing 50-55. I know this isn't cool so I start slowing down. I just happen to look in my mirror and say "Oh sh t!" Its a DPS car coming up fast, I just know that since I'm behind her he's after me. Now his lights come on and I start to pull over when he passes me and motions me to let him in front of me so he can pull over the C6. I couldn't believe it and from the lady's facial expression she couldn't either. What a way to start the day!

No doubt she stayed behind you because the rear end of a C5 looks so much better than what she was driving
