  • Holding back on the street

    I don't get "challengers" very often but today there was a brand new Mustang GT who was following me for miles on the freeway...and wanted to go. I just stayed in the right lane, then he got beside and started revving. I dropped it into 3rd and goosed it a bit just a couple mph. But that's about it. He took off, then backed off and started following again, but I just sat back, literally aching because I'm not about to stomp on the throttle. He finally passed me and took off.

    It took every ounce of strength in me not to go. But I'm glad I didn't...there was a CHP motorcycle cop later, so who knows if he would have seen anything. I can't believe how hard it is to not race, but I just always have to think, "I'm just getting from point A to point B"...it's sometimes not worth it!

        Thanks for the encouragement. It gets really, really hard when they follow you for miles and miles, trying to get you to go. I guess those people wanna learn the hard way

            I had some moron in a Neon SRT4 the other day that was pulling that crap. Out of frustration, I finally rolled down the window at a light and yelled "If you think I'm going to race you in this traffic, you're nuts." I also asked "What does it turn?" He says "What?" I say... "you know, ET.... what does it run?" He replies "I dunno, this is my mom's"

                  usually I have good restraint, but Friday, I drove the TA to work and on the way home played some tag with a ricer slammed and canned accord with a Mexican flag on the rear view mirror, I passed the guy and the guy was trying to tail me and get around, but the cards and traffic wasn't in his favor + he has a POS car (LOL) so eventually the traffic opened up and he got next to me and I gave it the gas which made him look like he was in reverse and he turned off to avoid any further vehicular humiliation, so that's my overkill for the year, I guess, lame as it may be - Still upholding the F-Body honor among the infidels

                    LOL! I love it...600 horsepower vs 96 hp...that must have been hilarious to watch.

                    O man, that is classic. I can't believe these people. Joe, did you laugh really hard or just have one of those "you gotta be kidding me" looks?

                    Oh I definitely remember that. Wasn't there CHP on the way too? I could have sworn he pulled over a station wagon too. It just isn't wise to race on the freeway when you're already going 70-80 mph...especially with a car quick enough to hit 120+ pretty quick.

                      Yeah, there was a couple I think. And I do remember one of them having a station wagon pulled over. And the other moron wanted us to take the TA to the freeway...oy lol

                        That would be pretty damn hilarious if it was animated and had a few sound bytes. Something like that voice of the little smiley that says "Noooo..waaay!"
