Stupid car games

featherynscaleThis morning I was driving down 435 near the I-70 interchange where the left and middle lanes are closed for construction. I was zipping along in the middle lane at the mind-blowing pace of 15 mph, attempting to merge into the right lane, where all must tread eventually, and a blue volvo 240 with an autobot logo sticker on the back seemed poised to let me in. So I edged ahead of it, preparing to change lanes, at which point, the driver pointed at the back end of my car, where the decepticon logo is prominently displayed, flipped me the bird and sped up to block me. And they're supposed to be the good guys.
So I fell in behind her, passed the interchange, and jumped in the left lane as soon as possible, to pass my autobot rival. She did not take kindly to this and sped up along side me, as if to race. We carried on in this manner for a while until one of Kansas City's finest showed up and pulled over my speeding enemy. Meanwhile, my shadow vehicle sailed on into the morning. So long, do-gooder. Should have joined the dark side when you had a chance.
Autobots 0, Decepticons 1.
Ah. Feel the melodrama. :-P

Like the ones she wallpapers her van with. (Technically, it IS cheaper of cover it in faerie stickers than to pay Maaco).
