... but didn't want to. On my drive home (which is roughly 45 minutes long) there was an older subaru wagon in front of me for a good ten minutes, we both turned down my little country road. Not sure if the guys thought I was following them or what, but as soon as we get on this small road (speed limit 55 initially) they drop down to about 20-25mph and keep tapping their brakes and the passenger keeps looking back at me. I'm gritting my teeth and waiting for a passing zone, just can't bring myself to pass illegally, because these guys are looking for a race and I'm tired and just want to get home. Well, after they drop down to 10mph I can pass legally and proceed to... so predictably as soon as I'm next to them they floor it. I have no patience at this point, because if I get behind them they'll do the same crap. So, I decide to see what my car can do. I get back over, they slow down, than I go back into the passing lane and hammer
I was very impressed with how smoothly my car made it to about 106 before shutting down. laugh
Oh, and the subaru? After about fifteen seconds from "go" they were just a speck in my mirror.
So, guess it was a fun kill, but damn I just wanted to get home lol

Nice kill!
I had someone do the exact same thing to me when I had my Grand Am. We we're on the highway and they kept getting in front of me and slowing down. Nobody was around us but there was traffic behind us. I let him slow us down to about 30, I was watching the traffic in the rear view mirror. As soon as traffic got real close to us, I jumped over a lane and took off like a rocket. Traffic caught them and they were burried in the traffic, I was long gone.
