Disclaimer: I have nothing against the Geo Metro. I mean, if someone cannot afford a REAL car, the Geo Metro is the way to go.
So yesterday, I'm on the highway and I'm driving my usual 7-8 mph over the posted speed limit in the left hand lane and I see this little baby car racing up behind me. I do the right thing and move over a lane. I mean, yes, I'm going over, but clearly this guy/girl is going much faster and has some place to be, so I best move over. Which I do.
I am then passed up on my left.
Fine. No big deal.
I move back over and stay within my same speed limit.
About 2-3 miles up ahead I see that same little Geo. Trudging along MAYBE at the speed limit and in the left hand lane. I look ahead, thinking maybe there is someone in their way. Nope. Free lane.
What is the deal???
As I approach the Geo (again, I am not moving ANY faster than I was already driving), I am once again surprised by their behavior. Just 5 minutes ago I couldn't get out of their fast enough and yet now it's a snails crawl. Perhaps there is a cop.
Nope. No cop.
Anyway... I slow down to where I am driving at just the speed limit, gradually inching closer to the tail end of this silly little wind up car otherwise known as the Geo Metro, and I'm beginning to get impatient. What's up so-and-so in the Geo!?! Let's go! About a mile or two goes by and we're still just sitting right at the speed limit. I'm about to pass this little fucker on the right when out of nowhere, a little puff of exhaust spurts at me and off the little shit goes. Once again, driving about 10-15 miles over the speed limit.
Personally, I'm not interested in a race, so I just sped back up to my 7-8 mph over and carried on my way. I think it was right as I started moving over towards my exit when I saw that same damn car once again going barely the speed limit.
I have decided that this phenomenon will be now known as "bipolar driving". This is when a driver just cannot maintain a constant speed limit or speed limit behavior. First they are fast and furious, then slow like grandmas. WTF! Make up your damn mind! Perhaps medication is necessary. Either that or... a good smack in the face. Whatever the case, it's obnoxious and I'm not going to stand for it!

You know...hamsters can only race for so long before they have to slow down and catch their breath.
Geez, it was probably some cute guy trying to flirt with you and you blew it. Don't you want to be with a stud in a Geo Metro?
Hum, maybe they were on the phone? Or maybe the little Geo had to recoup her energy before she sped off again!!
Y'all are much nicer than me... much much nicer.
hehe. My word verification was "fuqoncp". Who's CP?
