Actually try to race me
??
Beautiful weather yesterday here in DFW TX, almost 80 deg with sunny skies, no wind and what a perfect day to take a ride. So I get off work at 2 PM, and have some errands to run so of course off on my baby to tool around town here and there to take care of biz.
Now to the point of my post =)
At almost every red-light or stop sign I came upon, the cager next to me (or in front or back of me) wants to test his cage's speed capabilities. Could hardly believe they wanted to race me, and of course I don't waste my time racing a Nissan P/U or whatever they may have been driving. I make a turn on a neighborhood thru street, and this small car decides he wants to beat me around a corner, of course that didn't happen and I continue on about a mile to my next turn, when I get to it, I put my signal on to turn right, a cage is at the intersection and he wants to make a left which he proceeds to do when he sees me slowing with turn signals on, and the cage that was racing me comes up passing me and of course you know what happened.....BAM...a collision in the middle of the street where the cager was making his left and the idiot that was "racing" me was doing about 60 or so MPH. I went on and made my right turn, saw the collision in my rear view mirror, so I turn around to offer aid. The 2 cages were almost demolished, no serious injuries thank goodness, so I call 911 to tell them about it and take off to continue my errands.
What does the look of my 'Busa do to people ? They have been going nuts around here it seems, revving their engine and squealing off the stops, making an attempt to beat the fastest machine on earth off the line, and I don't even bother WOT as I take them with a normal take off most of the time.
Just thought I'd share my observations as of late.
