This was just east of El Paso, I10 eastbound, 3-4 Mexicanos popped out
from behind an overpass abutment, waving their arms wildly hoping I
would stop.  Seeing no wreck, fearing a hijack attempt and seeing
clear road ahead of me, I just took aim at one of them, keeping aim as
he tried to dodge me.  He barely made the edge safely.

What made this particularly amusing was I was taking Jennifer's
furniture and stuff to her first year at Baylor (26 years ago).  She
was following right behind my 280ZX in a new Nissan Sentra... with
instructions... in case of unusual circumstances, do _exactly_ as I
do... so she followed my gyrations precisely... I think the Mexicanos
were suitably frightened by the double-teaming ;-)
