Default got pwned by a granny!

i'm out running errands today when i spy a C5 vette creeping up in my rear view through the traffic. As the vette clears the traffic it moves over into the adjacent lane and casually slips up beside me. i'm rolling at about 40, down what is now an open road in front of me, when i finally catch a glimpse of the driver... a gray haired wrinkly old woman that looked to be in her late 60's, maybe early 70's. she can hardly see over the steering wheel and it looks like she can barely grip it due to arthritis. as i gaze admiringly at her extremely clean ride, unsuspecting, she lights it up on me from a roll and has about 10 cars on me before i even realize what just happened. i was so astonished that i just busted out laughing. she ended up turning off onto another street about a mile afterward and i gave her a friendly little rev as i passed to acknowledge her sneaky victory. anyone else ever find themself in a race with such an unassuming challenger without even realizing it?

60-70's is old???? I didn't think a person was old until their driver's liscense was revoked cuz' they can no longer see see past the front end of the car.

Way to go Granny.

My grandmother had a 86 turbo regal.

It was FAR from stock. She stopped messing around at about 75, this sounds like her though.
