RV's, the Vehicles from Hell



This weekend I was traveling to Stow Vermont for a all German Car show put on by a local Vermont BMW club. Both me and my buddy in New Jersey have porsche. So we decide to drive up to Stow and enter the show. I am all excited about the trip,I had just got my car back from the mechanic who had the car since May, and I was really looking forward to driving the car. Another plus was that the fall foliage was at its peak in that area of Vermont.
Now the joys of driving a porsche is that it handles very well, sticking to the road like glue while cornering. but the cars best attribute is that it is fast a hell. You can be over a 100 mph in a matter of seconds, its a rocket. So I was looking forward to those winding roads and those clear straight aways to really put the car through its paces.
There was one thing that I didn't count on, BIG GIANT RV'S. Yes my friends the rv's, that slow moving vehicle that seems to have a parade of cars behind it at all times. The vehicle that can reach a top speed of over 35 mph, and corners like and elephant on roller skates. A vehicle who is usually piloted by someone who's favorite song at one time in their lives was I'm A Yankee Doodle Dandy. These are the vehicles who you see on the interstate in the middle lane of a three lane highway going 35 mph. You will always find these drivers, when you pass them finally after about 20 miles of 20 mph, staring straight ahead, their heads locked in the forward position. I think this position, of never looking to either side, is a defensive maneuver so they won't see people glaring at them or giving them the finger.
These vehicles are always covered with stickers from the states that they have driven thought. To reinforce my point about about being slow, there was a sticker on one of these rv's from Alaska that read "Alaska, Looking forward to being the 49th state". That boy has been on the road a long time.
So I spent 3 day of driving in first gear,at over 35 mph, on these beautiful winding and twisty roads just screaming my head off. My wife telling me to relax and enjoy the scenery. Yea I'll relax alright. I'm planning my revenge and it will be sweet and those evil rv people had better watch out, because they will feel the wrath of Willie, and believe me they don't want to feel that. That's right they better sleep with one eye open in their pull out beds that convert back to a kitchen table. They had better keep their eyes peeled in their tiny little showers, or sitting on their tiny little teenie weenie little toilets. That's right beware, and also have a nice day.
