Cool I think I got mistaken for a SL500

My wife and I were going to grab a bite for dinner when this guy in a New Mustang GT pulled next to me while the light was red. He hit it a little once the light turned green, and I gave him a .3 second sample of Dont even think about it.
He did the ole wussy fly by as I was behind another car, and the light ahead turned red. I got behind him, and the light turned green. He jumped again and have me the inside lane. Needless to say .0000001 seconds later he was trying to identify that UFO with God forsaken speed.

At this time we are laughing thinking that this hooked up modified GT cant see the 65 Emblem and is wondering what is wrong with his American Muscle. Another light catches us and we were able to line up side by side. My wife could see through his tint that he was looking straight forward, with both hands on the steering wheel, anxiously awaiting his final chance at redemption. By this time I am yawning, playing with the satellite radio, and thinking, HMMMMMM, what will I have for dinner. Anyway the light turned green and he floored it. For what I dont know but the final lashing took place without incident, and the dude was so embarrassed that he didn't even roll his window to bow to the AMG power, or to say thanks for slowing after 8 car lengths. These were very short runs, and I dont usually take the time to talk about my shame on me kills, but this one was funny because he acted like the little red engine that could. I think I can, I think I can.

You are right, however in comparison to a SL65, he may as well had a bicycle! I guess we need a new term for guys that just wont give up and cut ther losses.
