Sh!tty Day!! Well I had a humorous morning so I though I would share. This morning I was heading to a job interview in my camaro on I-20 when I notice a Shelby GT500 a few cars up ahead of me. Well I did what anybody would do and hurried to get next to him, I pulled beside him doing 60ish and dropped second to let him know I was game. Well he wasnt game, he looked like a typical middle-aged rich dude with an attitude, he shot me a "youre not worth my time look" and then looked away. That kinda irritated me so I goosed it a few times chirping the tires to let him know I wasnt your typical 3rd gen, about just that time he slid his hand over to the gear shifter and I got ready. I hit it and immediately my throttle cable snapped, sending my engine down to idle and forcing me to coast off the hwy. I spent an hour and a half trying to fix it and ending up being very late to the interview and quite pissed off at my car. Sorry for the long read but I laughed about it later and thought I guess he literally killed my car without even trying.

Broken cable = $50
Thoughts running through that other guys head when he finally got out of his shell, dropped down a gear taking off and seeing the camaro drift off the freeway = Priceless.
Sorry buddy, I had to say it
. I'm still curious what exactly he was thinking. (Wow, my Cobra is so fast I left himi in my rear view faster than I thought?)
