No AMC content at all, just a story.

The other day I was taking my son to Lacrosse practice. No, I don?t have a clue on how the game is played! Anyway. I?m driving down the road in our 98 Altima with 102,000 Miles that smells like our dog and has seen better days! I?m on a narrow country road semi-paved I see a Chevy Lumina pull into a driveway in front of me and back up towards the road. I could tell he was going to turn around and come my way. I figure he will wait till I pass as the road is narrow and there is no place to get over. WRONG, The guy backs out and comes flying up the road toward me. I couldn?t get over without dragging the underneath of the car and probably getting stuck, so I stop completely after getting over as far as I could. The Mirrors on the cars click together making a loud cracking sound. The guy keeps going, I blow the horn and he slams on the brakes and backs up. He puts down the window, I figure he will say something and we will check the cars and go on our way. Nope, not a chance! What he says is , ?YEAH?, I?m tongue tied at this point. Not what I expected, so I say , ? UH yeah?? He looks at me a minute and says, ?Let me pull up so you can get out of the car BITCH?! At this point I?m completely dumbfounded, the guy practically backs out in front of me, tries to run me off the road, hits mirrors with our cars, then he acts like I did something and was antagonizing him!
He pulls forward, gets out of his car and starts jumping up and down in the road way. In retrospect it was quite a comical sight to behold! I sat there for a minute and then drive off. I saw when he stopped that his mirror did not appear to be damaged. I hoped the same was true for mine as I sure wasn?t about to get out of the car and confront this lunatic. Thankfully the car only has a scuff on the mirror and the guy didn?t follow me.
     I used this occasion to talk to my son about what he should do when these things come up after he gets his license. Mainly I told him to drive to a police station and call 911 if he is followed.
    Why am I posting this to the AMC list? You ask. An everyday thing you do without thinking and BAM! You?re running for cover wondering what in the world happened!
    Hey it?s about as relevant as most anything else that gets posted here anymore!
It?s a very strange world we live in!!!
