I had some douche today in a Kia "SUV" that wanted to go the exact same speed as me no matter what speed that was, slow or fast. He was in the middle lane, I was in the left lane. I needed to get over to turn right so finally I sped up to about 15 over and passed him. Of course he speeds up too and tries to not let me over, then tries to go around me on the right where I'm trying to go. Then he flips me off when I slow down to make my turn. I just don't understand some people.


Yep, having someone RIGHT beside me makes me hella claustrophobic, especially if it's a truck or SUV...something large like that.

When of the many reasons I hate coloradan drivers. Most are inconsiderate and don't know how to drive period. Driving in other states people are more considerate and let you merge and change lanes. No matter if you're on the highway or a street doing 35 PSL and these states/cities are more populated.

I hate people that don't take the opprotunity I give them to change lanes also. They usually don't know the size of their vehicle and don't think I give them adequate space and they get mad at me when I speed back up after 10 sec. Some don't even pay attention or are scared and just misse the window of opprotunity.
I can't stand people that don't let you lane change when you have your light on for 5 min (exageration) and you know they see it. When I get a good opening I wedge myself in and then they get pissed off at me. That's usually when a squirel or ball goes flying out in front of me.

Challenged on my way home from lunch at a stop light. Black LExus SC (I think, whatever the two door coupe is). All I saw was it in my rear view mirror, LOL.

He gunned it when the light turned green and I did shortly after (didn't know he wanted to go). Shifted to second and then backed off when I hit about 50. He was at least one bus behind me. Those things are SLOW!

Last night some friends and i were out cruising and i ran my friend's brothers acura NSX. We did two pulls from a dig one i pulled on him by about one to two lenghts then the second pull i missed my shift to second so he pulled about a lenght on me and i couldnt catch it then we did another pull from a roll at 40 and i got about 6feet on him then we held even through about 110. Not the safest night but it was hella fun

yesterday when driving home on sante fe had some douche in a brand new a4 pulling the "i'm not gunna let you over" BS. Managed to get him in front of me (gassed it to get him to speed up then hit the brakes) After I got behind him he gunned it, so I did also. Stayed right on his ass the entire time. Finally got to a light and we both managed to be up front in different lanes. Light turned green and I was gone!!! Left him about a bus behind me then outa nowhere this new nissan altima se-r something or other pulled out from behind him and starting gaining pretty quick (i had let off) so I said f' it down shifted and pulled on him as well. By the next light (remember its sante fe, so lights are few and far between) I had no idea where either of them where. Good fun! And like Eric said when he text me, good thing it wasn't an S4!

Just had an encounter with a rival I had been waiting for since I bought my speed6, the Mustang GT..

I was going down highway slowing down for for the stoplight ahead and as I got down to about 5 mph this 06+ GT gets the jump on me and I start trying to reel him in, but I Fk up and miss third gear. I wasn't about to let this guy and his girlfriend think they got the better of the Mazda so I kept going and hoped we could line them up legit... And it happened! Red light, both of us side by side. Launch control holding the revs up high on my speed6 I waited for the light to change... Green! the old speed6 launched perfect on the moist road and left him waaay back at the stoplight searching for traction, I didn't wait up as I flatfoot shifted up through third, leaving him at least a bus length behind. I still want run one when the conditions level the playing field a little more, but I'll keep this small victory in my pocket till that day comes.

SC430s are SLOW. I destroyed one when i first got the MS6.

What year NSX?

Depends on the year of the S4, I think.

I love smoking Stangs. And 350Zs.

Nice wins, all. Be safe, though...the roads are pretty slick right now.

Altitude did him in. N/A loses a LOT of power up here.
