Why does every rice burner wants to compete with my Porsche?

[c_warpspeed]

The porsche has always been the benchmark of fine craftsmanship. Naturally, folk will want to put their crap up against it. Take it as a compliment.
I usually wave or nod. No sense poking fun at a potential wackjob. Road rage I do not need.

There was a lovely article on line comparing the MR2 to the Acura NSX. I would love to see a comparison of a stock 95 turbo MR2 to a Boxster, in cornering ability, specifically. We know the S would be the turbo.....in flat out speed. I have true affection for that little rice burner. Long live the MR2!

I love the people who floor it as you are passing them on a two lane.

i actually had a guy on a 2000 kawasaki 250 ninja try and race me at a light, when we got to the next light i realized it was a kid i used to go to school with. he was shocked that my boxster could beat a bike. so i envited him to my house real quick. i jumped on my cbr 929, let him drive my car and we went to the school parking lot. i had him floor it for about 1/4 mile, when he got done he swore no bike could ever touch it. so thats when my 929 came in. i jumped on it and had him floor it again, but this time i was riding next to him, up on one wheel the entire time, lol. i really dont have a point to this story, i just liked the look on his face when i showed him the amazing power of the porsche against his ninja 250, and the amazing force of real bike against a porsche. guess i kinda taught him a lesson.

at the end of the 1/4 mile, you were doing over 100 mph in a school parking lot? or just really near the school parking lot? nice work.

For me, it seems that the crappiest POS cars want a go. I was crusing down some back roads and I came upon a 1985 Toyota pickup with a lift kit and optional rust package. The guy just punched it, I thought that it was hilarious. I would just blip the throttle and I would be back on his bumper. I would fall back and make it look like he was winning, then I'd be back on his ass. The best part was when we hit the twistys. The driver was going way to fast for this POS truck. It truck was squealing and leaning. I thought it was going to flip over, and if he did....... I wouldn't have stopped.

when they pull up next to you put on your best pokerface. when you have thier attention point to the front tire then with a concerned look on your face .hey your tire is flat. don't worry even if their window is up they will read your lips. they will wave and say thank you. just give them thumbs up and drive off. as you watch them pull over in your mirror. it is said that 100% of the time this is great for getting the slow cars out of the fast lane. mind you i have only herd of this being done surly i would do such. ahh ignorance isn't it a beautiful thing

No offense, but you don't if you were doing 110 in a parking lot.
