Dead Oppossum - vs - NEW Honda

During my commute this morning (@ 4:00am) I had to stop at a 4 way stop sign.
At almost the same time I had stopped, a brand new Honda (still with the dealer plates on it) was accross from me. I went 1st then he. It was a 2 lane road for each direction and this guy decided to ride my rear bumper and not go around. This lasted for over a half a mile or so. Thinking he would eventually go around but never did made me think, HEY this guy is doing some Honda boasting to my Toyota. I continued at the same pace when I noticed a freshly killed OPPOSSUM in the road directly ahead of us. I waited, I waited, I waited and at the last second I swerved to miss it and he hit it head on!! HEE, HEE, HEE
Immediately the Honda boasting came to an end and he backed off.

Take about setting the tone for the day.

Usually an unexpected sharp hit on the brakes will send a message to the tailhuggers. (gotta be done carefully, though...)
