Kickin Toll and Takin Names

Sir, I salute you. You are the 2005 Blue Prius southbound on the Chicagoland Tristate today at about 4pm.

Whoever you were, you were driving your prius like it was a corvette. It was awesome to see you work it in all 4 lanes. At one point, you weaved out and around a car that was your twin like he was in reverse.

You give me hope that I can run with the bulls when I get my 2006. It was great to see you crankin on it. I will be joining you late January if things go well.

Rock on my friend!

Sounds like he had a death wish myself. However, I'm just a simple rural, wide-open-spaces, 4-lane-interstate driver.

Anyone check to see if a Blue Prius was stolen in Chicago on or about that time? Maybe someone finally did figure out how to steal one.

Actually, I don't so much care if any driver endangers him/her-self; HOWEVER, endangering other more careful drivers is unnecessary. This is definitely *NOT COOL* - rather indicates a lack of good sense and a Cavalier attitude regarding other drivers.

My "salute" consists of one finger. I just hope I can stay clear of drivers like that one. My wish is that he/she weaves past a Highway Patrol cruiser.

Sounds like it could have been one of those AutoWeek guys driving the thing for one of their long-term review articles on the 2005 Prius.
