Drivin home from a friends last night and I'm about 3 miles away from the house on my favorite twisty road, stacked up behind two grandmas goin below the limit, when a newer firebird/transam snorkeled-hood mulletmobile comes FLYIN up on me and then proceeds to tailgate as if it might make the people in front of me go faster. The grandmas turn off about a mile from my house and I stomp it cuz this dude is pissin me off (btw he had his bright *** foglights on in addition to tailgating). So at this point the "monstrous" 115 HP 5cylinder under my hood is screaming/laboring through 2nd and the Firebird STOMPS it and almost rearends me in the process. I continued on with my gradual "I'm in a tubby 5000lb AWD slug" acceleration, but now I'm finally gettin up to about 85-90 and the road starts gettin REAL TWISTY. Needless to say, the guy in the Firebird couldn't hang through the turns and started falling back. I took the last turn before my house at the ragged edge with all four fightin for traction and could see him gettin really loose behind me and still losing ground. I gave the guy thumbs up and when I turned into my drive and he wouldn't look at me. Just wish I had been in the 7 so I coulda really mad him look silly...

Oh, and good kill.. kinda.. or not, I can't really tell? Seems like maybe you just had more testicular fortitude than the firecrotch guy.. I suppose that is a kill, so........ nice kill.
