Porsche wannabes
Ok so I really don't get suckered in by people to push the envelope a bit but last night on the way home this guy in a Soltice really needed an ego adjustment.
Just before my usual exit there is a long swooping right hander that is fun to take at higher speeds. Yesterday as I was doing just that, this Solstice comes tearing up behind me and before I could move over, he switched into the right lane passed me then cut over right in front of me, hesitated and then from the 2 brief puffs of smoke from his exhaust he floored it and started to pull away.
I eased down the throttle to where I came up beside him and maintained the speed for a few seconds to make him feel that he was keeping even.....then I floored it for about 10 seconds at which point I was more than 15 car lengths ahead of him and calmly took my exit at normal highway speed.
I seriously don't think he will try pushing any Porsche's for a while!!

You'd have beaten him by 30 car lengths if you'd take the bookcase or whatever the hell that is out of your back seat!!

It was a flat screen that I brought home for the bedroom and my wife thought that it was hilarious that I was impatient enough not to have it delivered and rather to turn the car into a "delivery wagon"
Had some real funny looks on the way home that day..almost 20 miles from store!!

It's funny I get picked on all the time in the same way with my p-car, but never in the Ferrari.

I actually get accused of misplaced loyalty sometimes because I'll on sunny days I'll drive the Porsche while wearing a Ferrari baseball cap!

The 911 c4 just handles better and gives the driver much more confidence.
