During the warmer months, this seems like a daily occurrence for me. Nine times out of ten it's a pimply faced kid or his passenger. Very rarely does a grown man come snooping for a street race. But lately, the wannabe Vin Diesels have taken to pick ups and SUVs, which is even more ridiculous.

I don't mess with people on highways or anything like that, but nothing is more than cursing through the twisties with some sort of fwd tuner or american muscle behind you. You are just having a sunday spirited drive, while in your rear view their car is skipping all over the road trying to stay composed.

When I first bought mine I couldn't help but spin the tires. But that was because they were bald. I still remember that first ride in the rain and I couldn't keep the tires on the ground.

Once I bought new tires, I found it difficult to spin the tires. I was and probably still am not an expert manual driver, but it took some practice as the new tires were so grippy.

Screw you spell check. Grippy is a word!
