Universal Sign of Victory
This weekend we were driving on I-35 back from Henry's Butcher Store (or whatever it was called). Scott and I were in my car. Scott wanted to buy some premium meat for Wei's birthday party and could not be seen getting the crappy bulk processed meat that you get at the supermarket. No, he had to get the creme de la creme of meat, only found at Henry's Bargain Butcher Bin (or whatever it was called). Apparently Henry is known for his meat. Freshly sliced off the cow. Unfortunately, it was closed and so Scott had to pick up some low class meat from H.E.B.
So anyways, we're going south on 35 and just talking about stuff, when all of a sudden I catch glimpse of a blue 2005 RSX in my side view mirror. There was a lot of traffic on 35 and so we weren't going that fast, nor was there really room to manuver. I didn't think twice about the RSX, but when he caught up to me, Scott started going crazy. Not just because it was an RSX, but because it had the same JDM wing as me. Anyways, the driver looked over at me, and I looked back. I guess you gotta do the obligatory head nod in those situations. He drives ahead and Scott makes the comment to race the guy. Of course, there's traffic so there's going to be no racing going on today. Well, a few miles ahead, he pulls over to the right to exit the freeway and we continue forward. When we passed him, the Scott started going crazy and started yelling stuff about how we totally smoked him and what not. Then I looked down at my dashboard and saw that my HAZARDS were on! For those who don't know. Flashing your hazards is the international sign of victory. For a split second, I was like, "what the?? why are my haza--- SCOTT!!!" I quickly fumbled around the instrument panel to turn them off. Scott was dying in laughter and I soon followed. In fact, we were laughing so hard that there were tears in our eyes. Moses and Marian were in the backseat and neither of them knew what had just occurred. All I know is that I will be writing a complaint letter to Acura regarding "poor placement of the hazard button in the RSX".
