You know what's really fun?
Getting in front of a Hummer on the freeway, taking my foot off the gas and dropping down to 40 miles an hour, just to see how long they ride my bumper before they give up and pass, then flooring it and passing them again.

Not that I ever do that. ;)

1. Fun, but think of all the gas they're burning by passing you.
Takes a lot of dead dinos to get one of those things to accelerate.

2. Yeah, but if it's no fun to drive, maybe they'll get something else
and maybe other people will get something a bit less stupid if they know they'll be subject to people being jerks on the freeway.

And it's fun. :D

3. Not hardly, kiddo. If they didn't LIKE having people hate them, they'd not
have bought a Hummer.

10. And having fun is like sitting down. You should do it every chance you
get, because you never know how long it'll be until you get another chance.

4. Well, I can't stand Hummers
I think they're about the most idiotic vehicle on the road. But I can't see how being obnoxious on the road proves anything to anyone except that you're being obnoxious on the road. And playing silly games like that just makes life a little more dangerous for all of us trying to drive out there.

7. Didn't Governor Groper (Arnold S.) design those monstrosities?

9. So, basically, you have this Hummer going slowly, then fast?
Variety is good.

11. As long as it doesn't stop...then there's no fun at all.

15. Though sometimes a bit of idling is need to keep from overheating.
Edited on Sun Aug-13-06 08:17 PM by Redstone
Gotta watch that. If the pressure builds up too much, it could cause a boil-over.

14. So long as he doesn't take control by ramming you from behind.
Something that big could make things very intense for you.

18. And he could actually end up on top of you as well.
Edited on Sun Aug-13-06 08:31 PM by Redstone
Possibly even after he'd made you roll over.
