So I'm waiting with the wife for a dinner table standing at the bar in a nice restaurant in Palo Alto (Tamerine) & see some ~50 yr old guy sitting in front of us getting all romantic with his girlfriend (~40 ish). Me & the wife chuckle & get a table, eat, & exit. I notice Romeo getting into his Maser with his honey while we were walking toward my RX-7. On the way to the freeway, a lane has cones marking it off so I get ready to accelerate a bit to merge & some guy floors his car & cuts me off. I'm like, WTF? I drive up closer & notice its Johnny GQ & babe in his tinted Maser.

In any case, I just drive from the light normal & he's jumping me a bit. I guess he likes his new car (it doesn't have tags yet - its pretty new). I ignore him for a minute & then he gets ready to cut me off yet again when I'm trying to get over to the turn lane to get on a road that leads direct to the highway (home). Thats it, not again..... I downshift at ~40 mph & my car went sideways a bit so now, I can cleanly get into the turn lane.

I think to myself, good riddence & drive ~ 2 miles when, Oh noooo, here come Xenon headlights @ warp speed. Its Fangio! He pulls up next to me at the light. The light goes green & he floors it. I slide in behind since someone is turning into my lane at the intersection & Fangio still has his Maser floored. So, anyway, I came up to his bumper, let off, did it again, up t his bumper yet a 3rd time, & then let him go (I wasn't crazy about passing him as the road was bending a bit but I "think" he got the hint). He got crushed from behind 3 times (is that even a "kill" - I dunno ). I know this, his ego bit off more than his Quattroport could chew.

I just thought it was rather funny because he was soooooo proud of that car & kept driving it like an azz (he cut me off twice) . I was happy to douse that pride of his a bit. He had a nice car but also an ego bigger than Hugh Heffner.

See ya,

Some poeple with money are just trash with huge ego's man. Don't sweat it.... funny story!

 

Way to go Matt! you showed more self control than most of us would
I bet he told his concubine "Oh I was just playing w/him I didn't even have it floord"

 

Concubine? THAT was funnier than my post.

See ya,

I thought you might like that

 

That's how I get drivers in the left lane to move over. They're going 80 and I'm lunging repeatedly behind them to get the headlights oscillating in their review mirror...that's what torque will do for you

 

I showed one up turning left onto Airport Road coming from LAX last week. We were at the front of the 2 left turn lanes and the guy was revving and staring at me with such intent it was rather uncomfortable. It's a near 90degree turn from a stop and my car just gripped and went. They sound great though.
