something you don't see every day.

On my way home from Ikea this morning I was driving 80 mph on the freeway with a posted speed limit of 55 mph. It's Detroit, there wasn't much traffic, and I have a radar detector so it really isn't that big of a deal. In my rear view mirror I spotted a little car weaving in and out of traffic. They were gaining on me pretty quickly. When they got to me and began to pass me I looked over to see what kind of person was driving 90 mph on the freeway with a posted speed limit of 55 mph. It was a little old white lady who could barely see over the steering wheel. She looked to be gripping the steering wheel with both hands and she had a little old lady passenger who had the biggest smile on her face. I just about died. I think they stole the car and were joy riding. I just hope they don't kill anyone on their little outing. I'll check the news later.
