F him! this went on for approx. 5 miles even though i wicked up the pace a bit to no avail. sure enough as we enter a particularly curvy section Ass-Breath drops a few gears, puts it on the mat and blows by us with a sense of both arrogance and superiority disappearing into the distance in less than a mile. now the best part: approx. 3 miles down the road comes a very tight left-hander and as we begin to negotiate i see 1 fresh dark skid mark going straight into the woods. you guessed it: douche bag blew down into the woods and was lying under his POS Honda in a tiny stream. we both stopped...saw him moving around...laughed like maniacs...and continued onto Ashville. was one of the most humorous roadway events i ever had the pleasure of being privy to.
