damn....talk about Embarrassing!

This just happened about 10 minutes ago.......probably should go under the racing section...but this is nothing to brag about...so I'm driving down 290...I see this Silver Supra TT...I follow it, and then pass it up (he wasnt attempting to race me).

Then I see my exit coming up in a few miles, I pass this Silver Porsche 911 Turbo and get in front of it....next thing I know he is tailgating me and just smokes the fuck out of me...yeah...I try to keep up....hahaha.... nice try..not even.....then the Supra gets into the mix and both cars are gone! I mean, I'm stuck behind wondering why my 3rd gear sucks!!!!!

3rd gear is the only good one on the Ack, i think it's just that you were racing some big time players there

Not that this is any great shakes, but I thought it was funny...

Had some asshole in one of those Toy Corolla "S" types, riding my rear bumper on the toll road last week. Not too much traffic on the road and I was cruising around 80...

I pulled over into the slow lane to let him by and he tucked in behind me... he was like right on my ass...

Well as you would imagine, I stepped it up and just walked away from him... not a big feat, but kinda funny.....

Everyonce in awhile this is usually some Civic assholes trick, but that little friggin S, he must have though he was bad to the bone or something

I've always thought 2nd gear to be better than 3rd. Maybe its just me.

Hehehe it's more than just 3rd gear holding you back. Probably around 300whp and torque.


Man I had some dumbass tailgating me in his fucking Jeep Cherokee for no reason a couple days ago. He even rode my ass around a corner after a stopsign, squealing his tires as he floored it around the turn. I'm like wtf, floor it, it kicks down to first, we're going up a steep hill and I have a 250lb passenger and we still put like 8 cars on that fag (i chirped 2nd somehow even with all the weight and uphill which is amazing for my car) and we're GONE. He musta had the V6 Cherokee because I think the V8 could have hung a little better.

I don't get asshole drivers, I really don't. Especially when they appear out of nowhere and drive weak vehicles like they're sportscars. Oh well, I'm sure he'll roll that jeep over if he keeps driving like that.

I'm gonna look at either the upcoming Supra, a Porsche, or an M3....we'll see what comes out of europe and japan in the next few years..........

Funny from a person who's TL shares 47% of it's parts with the HONDA Accord (how easily we forget).

New ES 300 is SLOOOOOOOW, wow every time I take one for a loaner, I get sleepy.
