Once again, having the power I want/need on tap. This morning I was approaching the big bridge over the river. Usually I use the left lane of the ramp, because I can easily merge (when it's finally safe -- the drivers here think the highway is a real-life version of Grand Theft Auto) straight onto the bridge.
However, this morning two 18-wheelers were churning their way up in the left lane of the ramp. I didn't want to be caught behind or between them. Sure, they speed up as they go, but driving behind big trucks can get your paint chipped. So I flicked the turn signal and put my foot down as I soared up the right lane. Passed them without effort, moved safely back into the left lane well ahead of them, and merged without fuss into the main span.
The gold car looks like your basic upper-middle-class commuter vehicle . . . but it has a small starship engine under the hood.
