Grandma Driving

I have been trying my hand (or foot as it were) at "eco driving". With the price of gas still going up and no end in sight, we need to keep the MPG at maximum. I have been accelerating as if there is a full coffee cup on my dashboard, not coming to a full stop if at all possible (although in the long run that one could become expensive) and slowing well before I come to the stop sign. The people who know me and my driving habits are saying "awwww" now because they feel so sorry for me, those of you who are not aware of my driving habits, know that this is a huge change.
Which leads me to my reason for this post.
Today as I was eco-aka grandma-driving to the bank an SUV passed me, and whipped in front of me just in time to turn in to the gas station.

Maybe she saw the guy coming out with the numbers to change the gas from 3.87 to 3.99 and wanted to beat him to the pumps? :)

I sometimes wish I still had our big old Ltd It would just be fun to ram into people like that sometimes. ? repressed anger?
