Default Just for laughs!!!

Recently, I had a late model Cavalier... Yes, I said Cavalier, pull along side and want to race. I didn't think he was serious! We ended up side by side at a signal, and I sat, almost laughing, as he tried to tear away when the light turned green (I say almost laughing because it was really kind of sad). I sat at a dead stop until he was shifting into 3rd, then I nailed it, WITHOUT a high rpm launch. Obviously, I was way past him by the time he was hitting fourth. Again, it was kind of sad. Remember, He wanted to race ME!!!

I have nothing against any car on the road, but the ignorance of some drivers is startling. What is so ironic is that a few minutes later, on a long stretch, this same Jackass blows past me doin 100+ in a 35MPH zone, and this was a public higway in a business district, not a freeway or open highway.

Maybe we are all lucky that this nimrod ISN't behind the wheel of a performance machine. Who knows what he would do.

He might've just wanted to see what the S could do - I play with exotics all the time just to get an impression of how fast they are in comparison.

Or he just needed a good old fashioned schoolin'

The guys who try to race me the most often are unfortunately guys in Pontiacs (Grand Prix, Grand Am, Bonneville). I also get guys in trucks who try to take me. I think it's funny as all hell.
