Those who think hybrids are really slow cars think again.

Last night at 2:30 AM on my way home I approached a traffic light, no one around exept a car ideling at a nearby closed bank. As I stopped at the light the car pulled along side and something went "WHAM" then "BAM, BAM"!
Completely startled from the silence of my stopped car I looked back and saw the egg yoke running down the rear window.
The car turned right and even though I WAS going straight I turned also.
Both of us floored it and in a few seconds I read the licence # from the old Caprice, full of screaming kids with colorful jestures. (And tossing more bombs)
Last thing I needed was to see a bad wreck for the chase.
Speed limit on the highway is 55 and since we were rapidly approaching 65 I backed off and turned around.

As I hurridly (cruise control on speed limit) drove home to clean the mess I called the cops. They thanked me for the description as several POLICE cars and others have been egged as well.
BTW found out the BEST time to wash a car is the middle of the night!
Thanks
