If you live in Houston, you know about the 610 loop and i10 Katy interchange during rush hour; Yes, I was stuck. I was not going to work but I was heading Katy to pick up my son then drive home.  Sometimes driving in traffic can be really frustrating. To avoid the rage, I amuse my self by checking out cars around me. So yesterday I spotted a silver Mercedes-Benz C55, NICE pretty rare. As it passed me, beside it, on the other lane was a factory fresh 98 front, cyclone blue Honda Civic sedan. I mean it had hubcaps, no tint, paint was mint, body was straight and as it was rolling BAMM, ALL CLEAR TAIL LIGHTS. The tail lights caught me off guard; I was slapped with a sudden burst of nostalgia. I was brought back when my 56k was fast, when I thought my Moto mini Pager was the shit, when I was recording guest DJ’s from the radio to my cassette tape. Who would have thought that a set of “ricer” tail lights would bring so much memories, it made my ride home less stressful remembering the things I used to do. Who would have thought that some “all-clear” tails cleared my thoughts of road rage during a stressful rush hour drive.
