Default ap1 vs. Soccer Mom

So on my in to work today, taking it easy on the throttle because the gas light had came on just a little while ago.

I'm turning onto one of the final roads that brings me to my office building, and it is 2-lane for maybe a 1/4 mile or so before it merges into 1 lane.

This soccer mom in her brand new chrysler town and country is tail gating me, and as we turn onto that 2-lane stretch, she slams on the gas to try to get past me.

I take 1st gear all the way to 5500 rpms, shift into 2nd and see her in my passenger side mirror.

I'm in 2nd so I decide to run this gear all the way up to 5900, and she's starting to fall back.

Shift to 3rd gear and run up to about 4500, I have about a car length on her, and continue REALLY short shifting through 6th, and she is forced to merge behind me, where she tailgates me for another couple of miles.

Anyways, it was fun to mess with her.

Cliffs notes: ap1 had a not so close encounter with a mini-van, and was able to out accelerate it.
