Default Fun with Fords

The other night my wife sent me out to take back my daughters Library books and I had a Ford Coutour SVT all riced up pull up an rev it like he wanted to go.

Well I just let him go until we hit the on ramp to the highway then once on the onramp I pulled up beside him and waved, he just laughed at me and stomped it. Well the heck with that I kept side by side, realizing I had much more under my foot I waved again and dusted him.

What is with these guys that makes them think the early C4's are that slow that they stand a chance.

The guy seemed pretty cool in the end, as I turned off we waved and he gave my the thumb's up.

Had a guy do the same thing with me in a new Mistubishi Eclipse. He really thought his car was fast, until I showed him otherwise. I never go up to a light asking others to race, but then, I also never back down when challenged.

Yep. Same here this past Sunday. Some guy and his friend in a droptop Pontiac Sunfire-white with a big black stripe down the middle (the car, not the guy), with an exhaust tip that looked big enough to carry sewage outta the city, plus-- stickers, stickers, stickers. *sigh*
Off he goes, 4 cylinders justa whining; exhaust abuzzzzin. I let him get about 20 car spaces ahead of me knowing I'd catch him with a tap of the pedal. Then his passenger buddy raised up, dropped his britches and spanked his own bare *ss at me!!!! Indicating what exactly? That he'd shown me something (besides his naked rump!?) Well, I never....
WTF?!!!
I put the pedal in the carpet and blew by him so fast he actually tapped his brakes and lost the backend for a minute.

I guess I'll never find out which is which, since I can only drive one at a time.

some guy with a new mustang with red strips on his black car , came up fast on me when i was going 70mph. reaved his moter next to me, then took off. i droped it down to 3rd and shot after him. i quickly realalized that going over 100mph in minnesota is a huge fine now,and laided back. a few seconds later the black mustang is at a red lite and i pull up along side. the guy looks at me and i say too him ,isn't it a ***** i've been driving 140mph for over 22yrs, and now your ford is just catching up! see ya and burned him off the line!!!!!
