I began to take a more twisted route, hoping to lose them. At last I came to a place where I could dart between a pole and a building, then cross several one-way streets through parking lots (which I did in an all-out sprint). Just as I darted between the pole and building, the car came very close to me with the passenger half hanging out the window. At that moment he bellowed “I WANNA FUCK YOU !!!” The Saturday before Katrina hit the Gulf Coast, we were coming out of New Orleans. My daughter had been supposed to move into the dorm at Tulane that day, but the university told all the students to go back home. She was driving her car a few car lengths in front of my hubby and I. There was a truck with some young bucks in it which was in the lane next to her. The traffic was moving in a jerky manner, kind of speed up - slow down - speed up - slow down. As these guys passed her one dude yells out the window “HEY BAY-BEEEEE!!”. She ignored him. This pissed off hubby so he worked his way up into traffic to catch up to these guys. We pulled up next to them and hubby bellows out the window “HEY BAY-BEEEEE !!!” with a very menacing expression. The guys were so shaken they pulled off at the next exit.
