The Indy 30-something
Tonight as I was driving to my studio I noticed a woman in a Mercedes next to me at a light. She was transfixed on the signal, just waiting for it to turn. Just before it did, she quickly crossed herself in the proper Catholic manner and as the light went green she floored it. She was doing no less than 80 all the way to the next signal (about a block through a tunnel) where she stopped as if nothing had happened. When it changed she drove off at a normal speed.
Afraid of the tunnel maybe? Practicing for the next Denver Grand Prix (which does use that same tunnel)? Middle-aged with three kids and getting a little fix of adreniline before going home to make mac and cheese and watch TV?

This is FANTASTIC.
