My wife and I had just gotten married and we were down in Texas on our
honeymoon (don't ask why Texas). We got caught up behind some guy in a
Honda Accord doing this very thing. Well, there was a HUGE stack of
cars lined up behind him. Along comes bubba in some old Chevy Malibu
that literally had rope and bungy cords holding his rear-end together.
He weaves in between the line of cars, and finally pulls up in front
of the Honda and slams on the brakes. Bumpers flying everywhere. I was
right behind the Honda and figured out what was about to happen so I
(along with the vehicle in the right lane) backed off.
At that point, Mr. Geezer in the Honda decides to take off and chase
Mr. Bubba down the highway. Don't know how fast those Accords can go,
but all we saw were Road Runner dust clouds.
