[DeTomaso] Is A Pantera On The Freeway An Idiot Magnet?

[bill gaino]

OK, I have a quick one! I'm in the left lane passing everbody, coming up on slower traffic in the right lane. A pickup truck is trying to pass on my right coming up faster on the slower lane. I look over when he gets next to. Guess what?  He is taking pics! and giving the thumbs up. Another time on instate 40 up the mountian, nobody can touch me, coming down I have a minivan on my ass at 120.  I say YES the Pantera is an idiot magnet.  Bill 1362
