Burning competition

It seems that most of the threads here talk about how their car is pretty, etc. That is fine, but I was wondering if any you outhere took ur beautiful car on the high way burned an acura, maxima, some bmw's, etc.

I was going from NJ into staten Island and this 5 series bmw starting crawling up my a$$. We were on the Varizano br. THe road wasn't clear so the person that knew how to weave through traffic would be victorious. I left him half a mile behind.
Then an Acura TL type S came next to me when I was going upstate NY. We were going uphill and I had a friend in my car, it burned me!!! on the straight road with no cars on the road. i was upset about that. I don't like Japanese cars that bite off german desings. Especially lex. I would love to race a lex.
Another time, coming back from Upstate ny goint to NYC near GWB, infinity g35 started tailgating me. I didnt even want to attempt that. It was a stick shift, etc. I just let him abuse me as much he wanted.
Finally, Civic si wanted to race me, I was surprised that it could not hold me in high end speeds. Even though I dont like racing cars like jettas, civics, and sentras.

Nice writeup (and kill) again Steve Glad you're getting the most out of those pullies and chip....ummm, wonder who's idea it was.......... I'm currently testing out a few other cost effective torque uppers and fuel savers in the meantime and will let you know once I've confirmed their benefits.....

However, acts like that from a respectable veteran law enforcement dude like you must sure be
