Default Pondering while ....

Sitting in traffic, why is that the guys driving these
R/Ts and SS cameros think they're so bad until you pull along side of them
Then they refuse to look your way !

Its best at the strip! I am destroying the brand new Camaros, Challengers, Mustangs, and what have you. I even pull better times than guys in the C6 and C5Z06 allot too... But I blame that on poor drivers.
But they get so butt hurt that a bolt on's 99 C5 is doing 1/2 - 1 full second better down the 1/8th mile!
When I go to the track (Particularly groups of mustangs) are revving an acting like clowns. It all stops when I drive by. Its crazy the amount of respect surrounds these cars. Its like, everyone knows.
I'll bet these guys in their brand new cars join their Forums and learn that an old C5 is still a better car and wish they had spent their money on that instead.

I like to know my surroundings, so when I look around, it's mostly for awareness, not necessarily to check out how “nice,” or "bad" their vehicle is, it’s more like what model, color, who, and how many are in the car.

I guess I'm just an old Soldier......
