Had a good one happen today.
I stopped at a starbucks and as I am getting out of my car a very attractive girl gets out of her Lexus and starts asking me about the viper. the usual - I've never seen one, how fast is it, how much does something like that cost etc. a very pleasant conversation.
she asks if I can take a picture of her with my car to show her friends. sure no problem If you want I will take one of you sitting in it. that would be great she says.
then it starts.
some guy maybe 30 or so flies out of the store red as a beet.
"*** are you doing ? he's screaming at her "what kind of woman gets into some strange guys car? why don't you just f**k him right here in the parking lot".
now I'm not sure how he knew that I didn't know her but thats beside the point.
so I said dude just chill all she wanted was a few pictures. so he rants and raves for another 5 or 10 minutes or so making a total a$$ out of himself.
then she tells him to get lost and he storms back inside and stares at us through the window.
I Apologized to her if I started something because I knew it was embarrassing to her.
I said "seems your boyfriend is a little overbearing control freak who needs to get his jealousy issues under control".
she says "he's not my boyfriend, we were meeting outside of work for the first time for coffee" "thanks for saving me from making a big mistake"
then she kisses me on the cheek, thanks me and drives away.
now I still want my ice coffee so i go inside and as I'm leaving and with the whole place staring at him this guy spews " just cause your some rich guy ? with a nice car doesn't give you the right to steal someones girlfriend".
before I can say anything back some older lady (maybe early seventies) says to him
" son you blew that on your own, maybe you need to grow up a little".
every one burst out laughing. he starts to CRY, runs outside, jumps into his car and proceeds to drive right over the curb in front of him.
he gets about 50 feet up the road, has 2 flat front tires and gets pulled over by a cop!
so as I get in my car I see him pointing at me and flipping out.
I drive by pulled up alongside the cop car and I said hello.
the cop looks at me and says "sensei this guy says you stole his girlfriend" (the cop is a martial arts student of mine). now the guy is all meek and quiet.
I know it was wrong and that I probably shouldn't have but I couldn't resist and said "Craig go easy on him he's a cryer" and drove away.
now maybe I'm old school or maybe I didn't watch enough of Alan Alda in M.A.S.H. when I was young, but my dad taught me a long time ago the only time a man has the right to cry in public is at his moms funeral.
this is the second time in one year of ownership that my viper has started a fight between a guy and a girl that i didn't know.
never a dull moment when you drive a viper !!!!
man I love this car....
