Default Punk Kids

My dad and I went for a Sunday drive with the verts. I met him at the gas station and we left from there and I took lead. I noticed a couple of kids in a last gen rustang, eye balling us with envy. We got on the road towards the hightway and we were going at cruising speed in the middle lane. I look in the rear view and noticed the kids catching up behind my dad and passed in the right lane. As they come up next to him they turned into his lane to try to either get as close as they can without hitting him then pulled back away. Then they passed him they got up near me and did it to me. I can hear them laughing as they passed in sped of in front of me.

That got my blood boiling. No respect. What a bunch of insecured kids.

I know what you mean. I just slow down and let them get out of the way. They probably weren't even born when you were going undefeated in 72

... did you have to go there ...


you couldnt have just said: "some people have no respect." You just had to go with the "punk kids" remark.

I'll agree they were WAY out of line doing anything like that, but still I dont agree with your portrayal of "kids" in a negative light ...

I get this image of an old man with a cane yelling and screaming ...

A lot of people here like to bash the Mustang for some reason. There's also a lot of people in this forum who own a Mustang for a second car or came from a Mustang to a Corvette (myself included) who think that the Ford is a great car, which it is. No it's not in the same league as a Corvette, then again it's also not in the same price range. That being said let's not put down the car, just idiots who happen to own that car. Mustangs are great and so are Corvettes. Long live American muscle.

I ment no dis-respect to all Mustang owners... when you get pist, sometimes you just say what you don't really mean, but that is besides the point. I drive a Ford Explorer as my daily driver and once had a Mustang. It just that this kids with Mustangs have some insecurity when they are on the same road with a Vette.

I believe that... the road they were goofing on has the highest road fatality rate in the city. I just hope when that happens, we wont be on the same time.

Instant Karma's gonna get... them. Eventually. It always does.

A tip of the hat to you and your pop for keeping cool and in control.

That is pretty much all you can do.

Ballsie though, what if they would have hit either one of us?

Then there could have been a tragedy. Same if you overreacted and jerked the wheel, which neither you or your pop did. You guys are aces. Again, I commend you both.
