03 Cobra vs. New C5 Vette - You wouldn't believe the result

[NO SLO PK]

Sunday afternoon I'm cruising up the I-5 in my '03 Cobra. I'm in the fast lane going 75, the top is down, and my wife is riding shotgun. Out of nowhere a white C5 with dealer plates cuts me off, I mean, really close to the bumper of my pony. I'm irritated and move into the carpool lane. The C5 cuts me off once more to get into the carpool lane in front of me. At this point, I'm seriously thinking of my martial arts training and how useful it could be at this point...but instead, I calm down and wait for a break in traffic to lay the hammer down...

Before a break in traffic happens, the Vette cuts over the double yellow lines that separate the carpool lane (highly illegal) and takes off hard...I made a tough decision not to cut over the lines too.

About 15 minutes later, what I saw next surprised even me. It was the same C5, this time in the slow lane going about 50 with its hazards on. As I passed, I noticed it was a couple of kids driving the Vette, which was clearly having engine trouble.

Must admit the temptation was almost overwhelming to pull alongside the Vette, downshift to second, and let go of the clutch. But that would be puting their faces in it, and I'm not a jerk like the two guys in the Vette. I can wait for another day.
