You think you've got an overshoot on a car on the highway when he's overtaking you...

Thanks to BAD1051 for inspiring this entertainment thread!

When your Wife is complaining about a tailgater, on the freeway, and you tell her "bank left, throttle back and he will overshoot".

She gave me the oddest look.

Riding in a car on the highway and using a laptop. The car in front has a bumper sticker has tiny text and you hit the Z key to get a closer look.

driving down the highway and you see red lights flashing in the rear view window and you say "No one gave me a Check 6?"

I was once descending after dropping some skydivers and noticed a float plane well below me following the river.  Without conscious thought I started working into a position to attack.  :)

And during the Arctic Thunder airshow I claimed a guns kill on the -2 in an A-10 flight.  The A-10s said something about the F-15s taking me out with an AMRAAM 15 minutes earlier.

The brother lent me his Vette one day. I drove a manual and the Vette was an auto. Almost wrecked it, the car and the motor, when I down shifted going onto a corner. I didn't tell him til many many years later.

I have done this, but without the laptop. I was looking ahead at an exit sign so I squinted, leaned in, and my left hand naturally went down to where the Z key would be. That must have been 8 years ago now.

I've been addicted to flight sims since '81/'82 when a "stick" plane program was written for
a mini frame made by Perkin Elmer (think it was the 7/32 or 3220).
From there I transitioned to AW then after it went bottoms up and after a brief stint with War Birds, I came
to Aces High... been here ever since
