Talking Saw a guy from Quebec with an ugly Accent this morning.

Really ugly Hyundai, it was puke green. But it looked beautiful to me, doing 50-55 in the 55 zone. I kept having to hit my brakes in my glides because I had an Explorer in front of me and an F-150 behind me taking care of the airflow.

He didn't have EZ Pass so I lost him at the tollbooth, which really pained me because my trip was at 65 mpg at the time. But I wound up right behind an 18 wheeler that was doing 70-75. My trip average moved between 63 and the high 64s, only dropping into the 62s a couple of times. I got into work at 65.4.

It was a good morning.

He probably found your accent strange too.

Was it one of the "Quebec Special" $9999 Accents from a while back? They sold a boatload of 'em.
