” He took off down the road, flooring it to 80 mph”
Even the Prius’ and Smart Cars pass you on I-75 if you are only going 80.
Well, it IS an old joke... ;-)
I was doing 75 on the freeway the other week. Some bonehead passed me doing about 80 on a scooter.
As I was wondering about how hot his tires must be one suddenly started to shred, pelting my pickup with rubber.
He cut past me to the right lane and came within about 6 inches of being roadkill from the van next to me.
Moron.
