Saw a silver MM today @ 3:30-3:45PM going down US 301 past the Desoto Square Mall.

Anyone here ?.

I was in the parking lot outside Sears but closer to 301. Met up w/a guy selling a Ranger pick-up.

Remind me NOT to do any un-necessary traveling up & down I75 during rush hour ... should have stayed down here in Port Charlotte.

Nothing like doing 85 w/the flow of traffic & still having some moron tailgate you. Ok time to move over when traffic breaks ... but I need some SPACE away from this moron first. Damn speed limiters ... 104 comes up fast jumping on it at 85. He's probably on some board right now ... bragging how he waisted a Town Car on the highway. He only caught up & passed me AFTER I had switched lanes - let off & BRAKED back down to @ 75. Mind you this all happened w/o EVER going over 104 mph either ... but I'm sure he thought my moving over & hitting the brakes was all just an illusion - that he just OVERTOOK my luxo-cruiser with ease :rolleyes: Guess I should have left the SCT 1725 program in there ... but I guess I really didnt' need it ... as all I ever wanted was to get AWAY from the fool - not play games in rush hour traffic.

Looked like one of these puddle jumpers but I can't be sure -

Looked a lot more intimidating in the rear view mirror then it turned out to be ... whatever the lil cracker jack - "bottom of the box surprise" it was.

It wasn't me, my friend. I haven't seen any other silver MM's here in Braden's town. You'll know me in the rear view by my front tag that reads, "This Too Shall Pass". Triple entendere for me and a few of my friends.

I was going south on 41 with my daughter at 6:00 today and was witness to the idiocy of tailgaters. Some guy in an E250 van thought he could squeeze up to the guy in front so he could change into the "fast" lane and just that at time the lane he was in did the panic stop thing because of some yo-yo that missed his left or some such thing and he was suddenly locking them up, all to no avail because the Civic in front of him had unknowingly hit the lottery. Didn't look like much more than grille damage but it was a solid hit that probably bottomed the 5mph bumper struts.
