LOL, there was also a time that someone driving one of our local water dept trucks (big like a semi) was next to us at a light and started revving. I looked up and the driver, my wife, and I shared a good laugh.
There will always be some knucklehead who wants to show off for his girlfriend or go home and tell his bros he beat a Porsche with his POS car. When I used to live near Sonoma Raceway (Sears Point) they had an open drag night every Wednesday and for $25 you could get 7-8 runs in. I used to tell them to meet me at the strip the following Wednesday and we'd settle up under safer conditions. Non of the challengers ever came and I had a good time running my Boxster against a variety of makes.
