Video from the weekend
So yesterday I met up with about a dozen sports cars from the Indianapolis area, and we went for a nice cruise in Brown County. That county has some of the best roads in the entire country. We had lots of nice cars, some MR2s, an LS1 RX7, turbo Integra, couple of S2000s, a Cosworth Mercedes, a GTO, and even a focus. I think I was the only stock car that attended (or at least close to stock).
Everything was going great, until the focus was taking a turn too fast, and ended up in a ditch. Here's the video from his car: http://www.zeebone.com/dracconix/spin.wmv The rest of the trip went without a glitch. We got to Nashville, IN for lunch/supper. We parked all of our cars in an elementary school parking lot, and we were taking pictures, etc. A redneck kid probably 18-20 start circling the block in a rusted out pickup truck without an exhaust. He would squel the tires whenever he started moving, basically he just had nothing to do. Then we start heading to this restaurant, when he pull up next to us, and here's the conversation that took place: Him: What are y'all street racers doing down here? We ain't got no street racing going on here! One of the guys: We don't street race because street racing is illegal. Once again, he takes off, and peels out. We go and have lunch, the whole time joking about how we were going to find all of our cars on fire afterwards, or how we'd see the kid again wearing a Mercedes-Benz emblem around his neck. We got done eating an hour later, and we still see the kid circling the block!!! We get into our cars, and start heading back to Indy. There was actually a bit of traffic on this one road, so we could only do short bursts of speed, but the kid in the pickup truck was following us. Of course he couldn't take the corners as fast, but whenever we'd get behind traffic, he'd always manage to catch up. He did that for a good 30 miles. We thought he was going to flip that truck. I'll post pictures as they become available. There is also video of the drive, but it's a large file, and the video is long, and it's actually kind of boring. If anybody wants to see it, I'll post it.

Re: Video from the weekend
I showed this video to my mom at work and her response was: "What a tool."

Re: Video from the weekend
We were actually pretty nice to the guy. We didn't give him too much crap about bringing a focus. After all, it was pretty modded, and he could keep up.

The rest of us were just as guilty of passing over the double yellow.
