Default Just crushed a Red Pontiac Soltice

So my wife and I are coming back from dinner when a Red Solstice with his girlfriend riding shotgun decides he wants to aggressively pass me before we enter a tunnel. He sees me speed up right behind him in his rear view mirror and proceeds to plant his accelerator pedal to the floor. ::chuckle:: I play along sticking right to him having to lift off numerous times (no room to pass safely) until we exit the tunnel. He breaks right, I break left and he is immediately overwhelmed by his car's poor handling characteristics and has to brake through the next corner. I carved my line carefully and precisely being sure that the traffic present was clear of the path and left him many car lengths behind...Needless to say when we met at the upcoming stoplight he was bitter to say the least.

Agreed. Any where In general be careful. Racing on public roads isn't the smartest thing to do. If you want to go fast take it to the track.

When I read the title of your thread, I thought you just plowed & totaled another car + yours. Maybe you can try out some of the local track & autox events, Im sure you'll enjoy it!
