Don't you wish you had a camera in their car when stuff like this happens? Just to see the shock and awe on their faces?

I was in a rental for a couple days earlier this week.
As luck would have it, I came across more WRX's and Evo's and SRT-4's in my rental than I ever would in the SS.

Same crap happens to me too. I was driving my wifes TL yesterday and I got in front of a Black 99 SS just like mine (but slower ). I tried to get him to race me two different times. The wuss wouldn't even get on it a little. Oh, well maybe I will run into him with the SS. Maybe I can get him to run me then.

It's your fault. Trying to merge at 60 You got a vette so anything less then 85 merge is insulting

Yeah, you don't "merge" in a vette, you simply put down the peddle a little, aim it in the right direction, and go wherever you want to go. Unless you're stuck in stupid friggin' Atlanta traffic, then all those pretty ponies don't do you much good. Traffic sux!

Oh yeah, and it truly sux having to drive something other than your own ride. I get stuck with my wife's Nissan Quest minivan about one day per week. As fate would have it, that's the day I get lined up next to all the ricers at the last stoplight before you come to a merge.

I know that kind of stuff shouldn't **** me off so bad, but...well, I'm sure you guys understand!

The truly hilarious thing is that I've actually beaten a couple ricers in the minivan! Those Nissan 3.5 V6's are not too shabby, even in soccer mom style!
