Oh gawd I wish I'd written this somewhere and I could cut and paste..
I was driving.. daylight.. Vermont. Boyf at the time in the passenger seat. Remember this is the US and so I'm on the left of the car, driving on the left. The road was like a dual carriageway with a large grassy median in the middle.
I wasn't speeding on this occasion. Bright winters day, road conditions good.
A car was approaching behind me going just a smidge faster than me and pulled out to the left to overtake me... which he did ridiculously slowly imo. As he overtook I looked to my left and saw a younger guy driving and an older guy in the passenger seat. He looked like an older version of the guy driving. The older guy looked at me and smiled. The car passed drove a safe distance and pulled in in front of me. The car seats did not have head rests.. when the car pulled in front of me I noticed there was only the driver.
I thought the old fella had probably bent down to get something. But he didn't resurface. I told the boyf at the time and we stayed behind the car... but still no resurfacing of the old fella. We were behind that car for miiillllees and still no sign. So we thought maybe he had slumped right down in the seat and was having a snooze.
At this point we had become like the Scooby Doo gang..
Anyhoo many many many miles later the car in front (who I was stalking
) pulled into one of those rest stops.. the kind where it is just a grassy area, some loos and a couple of woefully stocked vending machines. He parked up and I parked up near him. We watched as he got out and went to the mens loo. We got out... and we didn't take our eye off this car the whole time.. and walked up to the car.
There was no-one else in it..
