Default Grandpa drivers

Funny story. Even got published as a letter to the editor in corvette fever.

I had just purchased my c4 vette about 6 months prior. Perfect spring day. Took the targa top off and left my office for a nice lunch hour drive.

Headed south on the veterans expressway and a c6 daytona sunset orange passed me and casually moved into my lane ahead of me. Of course, since I don't own a c6, following one in my c4 is a good thing too ... We were both taking the exit to head west on the courtney campbell causeway. I was looking forward to the long sweeping exit at speed (hehee) and slipping onto the causeway with no brake action. Well, the driver dutifully obeyed all speed limits. All I could think was come on man! You've got 400 some horses there wanting to go to work for you and you're pulling in the reigns..go man go! Of course, he continued to obey all traffic laws and it was all I could do to not give him the single finger wave. Instead, I took the high road and gave him the corvette wave as I finally was able to pass him.

Hope he's enjoying his ride
