On the way home from work today I was in the cut out to make the left turn into my development. This cut out is often used by people making a U-Turn on this road. Ahead of me is a slick little piece of Italian Automotive Sculpture. I can see two heads through the window as the driver revs his engine as he waits for a clear spot in the traffic. Finally he gets a large openeing and pops the clutch as he hammers the gas. His tires spin and the car jumps into a U-Turn, fishtailing all over the road with the rear wheels smoking as he holds down the gas.
Instead of straightening out he keeps fishtailing and spinning. To my surprise he does a complete 360 and beyond before he finally straightens the wheels and shoots past us and up onto the median with a crunch. He's high centered the the low slung sports car and sits there for a minute spinning his tires in an attempt to keep going before finally giving up. I'm sitting there in shock and awe watching this.
Finally he shuts down the car and the passenger pops out cursing a blue streak. Oh is this young lady pissed off and she's letting the driver know all about it, (as well as the entire neighborhood) in a high pitched screech. She didn't wind down until the police showed up.
The funniest part was when the owner of the car showed up and reclaimed it from what I figured out had to have been his younger son. The words he used were definately not fit to use in the boardroom.
