If only life were like a video game...

Have you ever been on a highway driving along when you come up on someone driving the same car as you? Not necessarily the same colour, but exactly the same model, right down to the engine? Well, today that happened to me and the guy was driving slow, so I passed him (driving with cruise control on the ENTIRE way), no big deal. A few minutes later the guy goes zooming by me and another car only to literally slow down to a crawl again once ahead of us. Needless to say, I was not impressed and immediately thought (while passing him), "Dude, you're making us Fusion drivers look bad - cruise control has a purpose...USE IT!!!" I am constantly surprised at how many people manage to weasel their way into drivers licenses when obviously, they're a danger to both themselves and other drivers on the road.

After my drive-by with this guy, I thought, "Wouldn't it be great if life were like a video game?" Chris and I recently purchased an XBOX 360 and a game called "Full Auto". The purpose of the game is basically to drive around and if someone gets in your way, you blow up the car. I'm not suggesting that we blow up cars, but wouldn't it be cool if you could send a loud message into the car? Something to the affect of, "Learn how to drive, M***** F*****!!!" I probably wouldn't care so much if I didn't spend 5 of my 7 days of the week on the road with a bunch of complete idiots...

Ciao
