Some people are simply nuts. I was driving on the freeway last night around 10pm on the 710 Northbound (near LA). Traffic was medium, good spread of cars but everyone cruising between 70 and 80ish mph. I'm chatting with my friend in the passenger seat and all the sudden she goes "wow that guy sure likes to tailgate" and she points to a car in the lane next to mine. I glace over and it takes me a little to bit to figure out what is going on. He's definitely too close to be just tailgating. Then I see the car in front of him he is supposedly tailgating making various hand signals out the window. It finally all comes together and I realize this idiot is pushing his friends car on the freeway with his car. They were going fast too. I was doing about 80 and they were passing me. Not just going fast, but changing lanes often to maintain speed. Also consider the fact that the guy pushing the other car cannot see in front of him, and guy steering the dead car in front has no control over acceleration besides a delayed hand signal. at at least 85mph. "Darwin awards" kept flashing in my head and I took the next offramp for a new route as soon as I had the chance. A 50 car pileup wasn't going to ruin my commute that evening. lol my god.

ps - one dude was driving a honda crx, and the other was driving an early 90s civic. hmmmm.

Wow. I don't know how to call this one. 1. There's funny. We all can see the humor in this. 2. It's scary that someone is THAT DUMB to have someone else PUSH their car with the other person's car ON THE FREEWAY. And especially the fact that you were being passed. I mean, at least get someone who has a truck and tie a rope to the dead car and pull it, not push. Some people....

Pulling with a rope is just about as bad at high speeds. High speeds should be using a solid tow device.

That was me you assholes....Stop making fun of me! My car broke down and my cell phone didnt have push to talk. I was thinking about using morse code with my blinkers but the battery was dead! So my only option was to use some old school traffic cop moves to let him know what was going on. We got to the party on time though and got shitfaced. You think we were going fast then lol...you should have saw us on the way home. (Edit: For the record I was joking lol.)

The part you didnt know though is they had a v8 truck get them started. And the reason they were going so fast is because they had to make sure Vtec kicked in! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laughing.gif)
