What a post. I love it. Seen all that. You weren't a Ricer in another life, were you. You captured what's going on out there really well. Doesn't matter anyway, you're driving a CORVETTE now. Isn't it amusing when they pull up next to you and want to run, and you realize that's it a Hyundai or Kia. I just flash the big L sign with my thumb or just smile
