He probably went and parked in an EV charger spot..

Today I was turning left out of our shop driveway. Left turn into a 4
lane highway with a merge/turning lane in the center. You almost
always have to shoot a gap in the near lanes and get into the turning
lane and then look for a gap in the same direction you are wanting to go.
I found a gap on my side, turned left into the turning lane then
looked for a gap to merge right into travel lanes.
Quite a way back was a $75K pickup with obviously a chip etc. Lift
kit etc.
He decided I would not merge in front of him. I saw him hit the gas
and start rolling coal.
I drive an electric car. He did not gain on me. Slipped right in.
So he decided that he would go to the right lane (2 lane freeway
onramp coming up) and pass me. Nope, merged right and shot out
ahead. So he went left. With lights flashing. Nope.
I just stood on it and increased the distance. Merged left onto the
freeway just fine. He was back a bit in the left lane.
So I went to the left land out of onyrness. Saw him rolling coal,
still increased the gap on him.
But road construction was coming up. I let off and he pulled right
and passed me at a pretty slow closing speed. Hand out, finger flying.
My wife was sure I was about to get shot, but man that was the most
fun I had for a long time.
Old white dude in a little car going beep beep beep blew his doors
off. Hope his girlfriend was riding with him.
Don’t get thrills much any more but that was FUN!
