Serious RC Control Issues..

Driving home from work, I saw a little plane flying along the opposite lane of the country road. It whizzed past my van, following the curve of the road, just a little above what would be a car's roof level. It was a radio controlled plane, and its wingspan was probably a good four or five feet, enough to fill the lane. I was a bit startled. I checked behind me to be sure I saw what I saw, (I had) and then looked forward again.
Then, I saw a little black four wheel monster truck speeding along the road, coming toward me in the opposite lane, with a G.I. Joe action figure "driving" and Barbie riding along in it, her blonde hair whipping behind her at highway speeds. ZOOM!
These were closely followed by a white beat up full-sized pickup truck with a teen driver, and two teen guys also in the front seat, grinning like fiends while manipulating their control boxes.
I was torn between being immensely amused, and totally appalled!
