[SSE 4 2SS]

Had the same thing relative the guy speeding up happen to me twice coming back froma long trip a few months ago...

First time, way out in west texas, guy driving 55 in a 70, no clear paassing area for a while, so... I wait... no need to kill myself. Find a long clear area, designated passing area, and go to pass him... No hammer, just ease down into 5th, and start around... He blows smoke out the tail pipe and takes off, sort of... All I had to do was push a little firmer on the gas and I went right around him, got a safe distance and then pulled back into my lane... Wife asked, "what was that all about?" I explaind that knuckleheads think either they can out run me, want to see what my car will do, or feel like they are the designated traffic controllers.

Second occurance, about 8 hours later... well after dark, very familiar road to me, and a goofball in a new 381 or whatever HP Toyota truck is driving about 58 - 60 in a 65 mph zone... I know the road, so I patiently wait until a safe area comes up. I downshift into 5th, look to make sure all is clear, and then ease into the opposing lane for the pass... BIG, puff of smoke and off he goes... to hell with this, I'm tired and no longer in the mood, by this time I'm going up through 70, and he is still pulling away, so................ I grab third, from 5th, and hammer it... As I'm shifting down, my wife makes a comment that I faintly hear but causes me to bust out laughing really loudly... "oh... he is going to be so dissappointed."

Well, as you would expect, my SS smoked his puke-up truck, and I went by him so fast I think his headlights got sucked out, cause I never saw him again after about 30 seconds...
