I usually keep it safe. I'm not interested in finding out if the other driver is crazier than me. There is a difference in being crazy and just plain stupid. I was driving a U-Haul Saturday and noticed a sticker on the odometer that said SPEED KILLS, SLOW DOWN AND DRIVE SAFE. Really can't recall any stories about a U-Haul getting into any speed related accidents.

Ok so not too bad but I was at a light, only had my R for 3 months! Finally got stage 0 done plus a little extra! A new WRX sedan stock sittig next to me at the light. Light turned green and we started off. I only push maybe 1/2 then I heard in rev, it's on full throttle now when my car shifted second he wasn't pulling anymore. I stayed at his rear door until we lifted every shift he was sticking his head out the window. More shocked I was still there! We stopped at the next light got the thumbs up and he asked what year it was! He almost crapped when he heard it was a 1996! But hey not bad!
Now I'd like to see what I'll do now against him. Dialed in at 14psi and feels good!

My first car was a 73 Buick regal w/ a 455 wildcat motor and factory exhaust....all the stupid emissions stuff gone, it was the perfect sleeper and my 5.0l eater. Racing a Dodge swinger and he got peeved that I was beating him and he hit me in the quarter panel...Jerk. Lets just say that we stopped and he got what he had comin. In the Volvos it's fun because no one expects it, especially in the wagon. I got to play an awsome cat n mouse with a 5 series BM the other day in the S80...he couldn't get over the fact that it is a 3.2
