Years ago casting a movie in LA, and LA being dead on weekends, I've decided to go to Vegas for the weekend. I was driving from LA to Vegas via 15... Hot summer close to 100 F. So NOT to overheat my rental, I kept to the speed limit. Passing a semi, I was little slower then the idiot behind me driving a fancy jeep and towing a power boat... He is flashing and honking like insane man. It took maybe a minute before I could get back to the slow lane. As he passed me he slowed down, his bimbo girlfriend rolled down her window and both started yelling obscenities at me. Beside the standard fuck you etc...he also pulled a pistol and yelled something to the effect " I will send you to hell with this". Well he did NOT and sped away.
This was ONLY a few miles before town of Baker, not wanted a further confrontation I pulled into town and bought a towns famous BunBoy burger, consumed it and went on my way. I figured this idiot with the boat will be long gone. As I am leaving I hear a fire engine. It passed me and went the same direction as i was heading. This was right next to a road sign:" Turn of your AC to avoid overheating" . This being a warning since from Baker it is 5 mile long climb. So I did....
Coming close to the summit, I see flames maybe ten feet high and the fire truck getting ready to douse it. On fire was the fancy jeep and the fancy power boat. By the time I slowed down next to it, there was very little to salvage. The idiot and his bimbo girlfriend stood close by. He in shock, she in tears.... So, I coasted almost to stop and yelled at them:
" I hope hell is now waiting for you" or something to the effect ( plus some std fuck you and your bimbo) and drove off, satisfied that God works in mysterious ways.
