a lot of times I pull up to people at the stop light and they don't race.....oh well...can't win them all fair and square. I usually end up gassing it when the light turns anyways....just to show them what they don't have!!!

Are you sure he even was trying to race you? I mean i'm thinking someone with an echo does not go around racing people.

We sure did, that 108-horsepower thingy. Seen a few of them over here. Couldn't even imagine someone wanting to race in one of them. But they get over 35 mpg, right?

Last evening I blew past a bicycle after the light turned green. The rider was coming from behind while the light was red (had a good rolling start) and we went from a dead stop. Yeah!!!

As an aside, I really _hate_ it when cyclists are on the road -- technically part of the traffic -- yet they continually weave through traffic as though they don't have to obey any of the traffic laws. They're just a hazard when they do that.
