My wife and I were leaving Downtown Fort Worth a new Honda 2000 Roadster pulled up along side me, The light turned green and she, yes she gunned it , so I nailed it , I kept my foot in it till I had pulled her by a car length and then let up ,My wife yells, What ARE you doing, I said, Sorry I shouldn't have been racing, She said no, its not that , you let up and she went passed , SHE thinks she beat you, Don't do that again

Hate to say it, but I agree with your wife on this one. Be glad she feels that way. Mine got pissed at me telling her I smoked a 300ZX yesterday. First car I have raced with it. I didn't know he was wanting to race until he punched it at the red light and launched about 2 car lengths ahead. That was easily regained, and he was publicly punished/humiliated for it!

Mostly I drive my car alone, when I am with my wife I drive the Grand Cherokee, so I won't have reasons to speed, if I do, she would start yelling at me. :p
