Sometimes I wonder what they are thinking...

So...

I had to run over to my parents place to feed their dog for them. No biggie, only a couple miles. Grand Am is having alternator issues, so I took the Trans Am. Stopped at the gas station and filled it up.
On to my parents place and feed the dog.

I leave, and take the slightly longer way home. Just makes a bigger block for me and keeps the roads 4 lanes.
All the while I am driving pretty tame.

Enter red Civic with wanna-be CF hood. IE painted black. Melon launcher. Cheap body kit. Etc.
He is behind me turning south. All the while, I am keeping it real easy.

Then it happens. Since it is a 4 lane road, we have two lanes to merge into. With me taking it easy, I guess he thought his chance was there.
As soon as I heard the lawnmower rev up, I put her in 1st gear. Waited for him to get along side of me....
I don't think he expected this....and neither did I. I guess the Nitto DR's don't hold quite as well when it is 60 degrees outside.
Car breaks traction and I spin a bunch...enough that I wasn't pulling. So I shifted into 2nd gear and the same happened. Spun, but not too bad. Enough to toss the rear out just a touch and create some smoke.

Poor bastard....got literally 'smoked.'
And all the while I heard that black and decker trying its little heart out.

Backed off at about 45-50 MPH. Speed limit is 45 through there, so I went down to 40 MPH.
He wouldn't pass.

Ouch, even with a hybrid you still had to fill up just to go a few miles to the rents house.

Are you sure? Was it VTEC?

Nice job not running the T/A into a ditch.

Re: Sometimes I wonder what they are thinking...

I am used to the rear end swinging out a little bit.

Hell...last week when I raced it it got loose into 4th gear going 95.

Re: Sometimes I wonder what they are thinking...

sweet bro. I know what you mean though. Some people's lack of understanding of where they stand on the food chain is just insulting.

Re: Sometimes I wonder what they are thinking...

Pretty long list...gave up keeping track.

Most of the time at the track anymore I don't lose races to cars that are trailered in.
