Attack of the Yari

[GeneW]

On the way to work an Audi convertible indulged in a grievous sin to me - they hogged the left lane doing just under the speed limit.

Your humble narrator was getting onto the road and knew what to do - use the on ramp as a passing lane. Within a few seconds I was past the Audi and a minivan. I noted that the Audi pilot had a cell phone screwed into their left ear. Some kid in their late twenties or thirties, probably a Lawyer with more dollars than sense.

I watched the Audi drift behind me, maintaining its solipsistic mode of travel, oblivious to the world.

Since I keep an eye on EVERYTHING around me I take frequent peeks in the rear view mirror.

To my amazement a SECOND Yaris approached the Audi, paused for several seconds, and then pulled into the right lane, slid in behind the mini Van, passed the Audi in the right lane and then proceeded up the highway.

What's a snobby German car owner to do, with their low slung Audi Coupe with Iodine lights, cell phone in one ear, hogging the left lane when passed by not one but two Japanese economy cars and on the right no less?

The Audi passed the Minivan and then pulled into the right lane. I soon lost sight of the Audi but the Yaris paced me for several miles and then pulled off on an exit ramp.
