yes, i own one of the few KBP tl-s's in WNY. if you see a KBP TL parked 100' away from everyone else and it's got a black interior and smoked windows, then it's most likely mine.
i was getting off the thruway coming back from rochester (big trip to get the wifey's 5th gen prelude outta storage) and 3 kids in a turboed jetta sped up behind me at the toll booth in depew
. So after paying my toll, i pulled away with a little authority, and the echo of my exhaust must have stirred thier courage because they flew outta the toll booth after me. i get to the light at transit to turn right, and as i started to make the turn here comes the jetta in the wrong lane trying to make the same turn
. so with a few slight corrections and some creative thinking i was able to box them in with the other surrounding cars
. Now at this point i'm laughing to myself because they are reminding me of myself 14 years ago when i had my mustang and more balls than brains
. so we get to the light at transit and gennessee and i unbox them and move into the inside lane so they can pull up next to me in the outside lane. they pull up, roll the window down and gesture to me to do the same. i follow suit, and as i roll the window down i say to him "i don't think that things got enough..." and he responds with "you'd be suprised what this little car can do". 
So i roll the window back up, turn the radio off, hit the traction control, throw it into manual 1 and get psyched
as here comes the light.
3...2...1...green!
they take off instantly and i just sat there, waited for a split second until i saw their rear wheel
, then rolled on the throttle lightly until i pinned it to the floor. i was past them before the first shift point and all i could hear was blow-off valves and gear changes coming from the jetta. needless to say i got half way into 2nd gear and was 2 lengths infront of them
, so i slowed down to the speed limit and put her on cruise.
honestly, that jetta was faster than i was expecting. i bet with a boost in turbo pressure it'd make for a good match-up.
after everything, i got home and told the wifely of my little accomplishment and asked for a "reward" for my labors. she told me to ask the guy in the jetta 
, lol.

Cheektowaga here. Can't miss my car, with the plate frames and plates 
Yeah, I know, it's a Mustang.....it was the nicest car on our lot at a time when there were no used Acuras to be had in my price range. Besides, it was the perfect choice for a mid-life crisis divorced guy
