Almost ran a Challenger So I was merging onto the 210 from the 605 and I ran across and new Challenger SRT8 and I snapped the following pics real quick. He got stuck in the fast lane behind slower traffic.
So as we entered the 210 I was clear of the traffic and had a huge opening in front. I tried going slow waiting for him to clear the blocking cars, but they were going just to slow and I ended up almost an 1/8th ahead.
Well when he cleared the carrola he got a long running start on me (doing 60 trying to wait up) and blew past me before I could get going. 2 gears later I had caught up but then we were on the brakes as we ran into the traffic ahead. The tool did not want any part of me heads up with his blonde in the passenger seat (and me with 16 rotors in the car). Hindsight is 20/20 I should have done 50or less on the ramp and kept him closer for a fair race.
Also the mid life crisis man had a plastic bag stuck to his pass fender well when I rolled up on him.

haha ya I believe it. But for the new owner that just paid 5G's plus over MSRP I doubt he wanted to look bad in front of his girl. So he booked it as fast as he could. I bet I would have walked him. I struggled to find a gear as I watched him come up and hit 2nd for a sec til she blew into redline I realized to LOW!

Well you could go to a dealer and try and buy one and see how much they are marking them up. What is asinine is that someone wants something so much that they would throw that kind of cash away to be one of the first to own one. And that was my point, regarding that i.e. He is a tool.

Damb Bry you were right. Dealer says they just closed 2 deals Friday and they are getting $20,000 over MSRP of $41,000 So the tool more than likey paid close to 60 for it. HA! No wonder he did not want to be walked on in front of his girl.

I saw one advertised for $79,995!!!
Alot of those drivers brand new over-priced Dodges or high-end cars love to do the fly-bys but never want to run heads up. I either let fly by while I am doing the speed limit or I nail it as soon as I see them get on it. Then they start to fall behind again and can't catch up.
