Many, many times since Aug. One story though. A newer Mustang GT attempts a pass between lights, one light before a two to one lane merge. Light before merge turns red, I am in the through lane, Mustang pulls behind me.

Hello,

I have had about 8 Mustangs,8 350Z, and a few others. I handed most of them ther butts on a platter, others were not worthy of the waste of effort! They are learning as the challenges are less frequent. The last was a Mustang Cobra that was totally supped up, he lost twice and shook his head and limped off with tail between legs!

Thanks,

In my neck of the woods --

For some reason, every bubby in a Dodge P/U that has a "HEMI" badge thinks he wants to have a go. Undoubtedly, most of them have the "YES, IT'S GOT A HEMI" sticker in their back window.

This happens so much that I have considered putting a big sticker on my back window that says:

"YOU WILL NEED MORE THAN JUST A HEMI"

You people (I am assuming mostly adolescents in a pen*s swinging contest) are funny. If you are really interested in fast cars, get the stock corvette, the Z06, or Zr1 and be done with it. It is faster, handles much better than the overly heavy camaro and does better in just about every aspect of racing.

Goofs try and entice me all the time. I ignore them. Isn't worth the hassle and certainly not into doing that crap.

I just like driving Rosie. Sometimes, a little more agressively thanother times, just for the fun of it. But certainly none of the continuous street racing junk.

If I wanted to race, I wuold have Rosie set up for the track and do it there.

Sometimes I think people are trying to goad me into racing with them. I'll be trying to change lanes and speed up or slow down to try and move over only to realize the person in the lane next to me is checking out my car! As flattering as it is, I wish they would pay attention to the flashing blinker and get the hell-outa-da-way
