Great stories in this thread - thanks for posting them! My story isn't great, but I'll throw it out there anyway.
So one fine summer day a couple months ago I was sitting at a light minding my own business when a brand new, white, Acura RSX Type-S pulled along side me. I looked over and was admiring the car when I heard the driver give it a big rev. I looked up to see him staring right at me and he revved it again. I gave him a smile like, “OK, buddy – you asked for it.”
The light turned green and he jumped all over it. He got the drop on me, and the stats of his car flashed through my head – just over 2700 lbs. and 200 hp. Lighter by about 700 lbs. and only 30 or so fewer horses – I got a little nervous.
Any fear I had was instantly erased when I popped the clutch, dropped it into 2nd and stomped on it. When I shifted into 4th at 80 going through the next light (2 blocks) he was a full car length behind me. I eased off it and slowed down to stop at the next light and compliment him on his car (read: gloat), but he pulled off on a side street and sped away.
Gee – I hope I didn’t hurt his feelings.
