It's gonna take me awhile...
...to catch up on all these new threads. I'm gone for 3 days and... 
Anyway, before you ask, I went to San Antonio with the family - we have some guests from the Philippines and are showing them the sights. Houston pretty much has only one tourist attraction: NASA. And well, we already took them there.
Ooooh, and I have plenty of kill stories...
BTW, the 155mph governor really sucks.

Sup guys...
First 'kill' happened at the toll booth on the Hardy Toll Road. It started off when I was behind a rental Dodge Neon with driver/passenger obviously from abroad. They were a Japanese couple and I guess they didn't have the right change, much less know they were on a toll road. Anyway, I'm sitting there for 5min while they look around the entire car for change; they eventually get out of thecar and ask the toll booth attendant for some change! ARRRGHH!!!
Well, I don't know if they got through or not, because as soon as the car behind me reversed out, I did the same. And as soon as my gate went up, the pedal went halfway to the floor. (I was driving my dad's E55, BTW.) Even at half throttle, it would've given my S2000 a run for the money, and it seems a V6 Camaro saw it as an invite to play. Well, I humbled him by hammering it at about 45mph, and promptly leaving him waaaay behind.

The next kill story involves an 4.4 X5. I was cruising at about 80mph (in a 70) and come along the X5 behind an 18-wheeler. Wel, being the moron that he was, he decided to make his pass right as I was about to pass both of them - is it really so hard to simply wait for me to go by? Freakin' moron. So I ease on the brakes to about 65mph and wait patiantly for him to pass.
Well, the bastard must be trying to save gas or something, because he was doing about 66mph while passing the big rig that was doing 65mph.
Getting even more anxious, I close up the distance and scoot to the left of the lane, to make sure he didn't forget I was behind him. He must've, as I got no response; he didn't even look in his mirrors.
And then he slows down to 65mph and paces the big rig. I don't think he was doing it on purpose, but either way I was getting pissed. I flash my high-beams a few times, scoot up even closer and finally got his attention. I think he floored it as his X5 jerked forward and he started leaving me behind.
I say out loud, "So, you want to play?"
I pull up alongside him, give him my trademark
wink and proceed to floor the hell out of it.
Of course, it was an easy kill. By 120mph I couldn't even tell it was an X5 in my mirrors.
