Killed a Turbo Bug
I was driving yesterday, cruising at about 40, and I heard this loud whistling sound. I looked to my side, and I see this "new" VW Bug slowly move past me, with the guy in the driver seat looking at my Lightning badge, and laughing, like he was beating me.
My brother in the passenger seat said "What the hell is that?"
I pressed the throttle a little bit to match his speed, and then dropped it and shot out ahead of him. He turned at the next light, and wouldn't look at me.
What the F are people thinking sometimes?

On the way to my local garbarge dump early this am, a guy in a Saturn (yes a Saturn with a big fat muffler)...road my tailgate for 2 miles...I got fed up and nailed it at 40 mph (these are country roads)...and then it was goodbye saturn (the guy also had the reverse baseball cap)...well did this 3 times...let him get close then ZOOM ZOOM...his facial expression was priceless...finally had to make a right into the garbage dump and then this guy stops dead in the middle of the road staring at the truck...
I stopped for about 30 seconds and this idiot stayed stopped in the middle of the road....then the guy waves at me and leaves...
I guess he was at a loss for words as to how a big truck could move that fast....will they ever learn?..NO.

Fast Gator:
Yes, very worthwhile. I get very nervous when tailgated (after all i've had 2 L's rear ended)...But today was quite good for my male harmone level...I felt in touch with my inner child and then the sky
turned blue and the sun came out and all was right with the world again...and then the Lightning Yellow Brick Road just magically appeared and I got transported to your house FastGator and stole your MOONSHINE!!!
Big1Daddy:
"Isn't that a bit like clubbing baby seals"...I must say BigDaddy that your comment really made me laugh...very good!

Saturns!
Don't pick on the Saturns. They can be made pretty fast. I'm shooting for 11's in mine.
The engine is pretty stout and can handle up to 150 shot stock. Add to that they are VERY light (2400lbs soaking wet) and it's not a bad car.
Mine little SC2 did 16.0 straight from the factory. With about $1000 you can be low 15's. 150 shot gets you in the thirteens, then you get to the goofy boys...

PS: All the fast ones don't wear backwards baseball caps

"Don't pick on the Saturns"...I didn't pick on him...he drew first blood by tailgating me for 2 miles...
Got any pics of yours?....would like to see it. Yours does sound nice.
Oddly, when the guy stopped in the middle of the road he took his
hat off...whats that (mysterious ritual, lice, new social cue?).
