Love egging on sports cars / sports sedans in the wife?s minivan?I mean who in their right mind driving a performance car would let someone in a minivan get under their skin? Answer: a lot of people here in socal?I never race but if we are both stopped at the line it usually only takes me rolling forward a couple feet?to get someone to bolt from the line?it?s Hilarious / Lots of fragile egos out there!

Swajames-
From your description of events?doesn?t sound like you are one of those types?so don?t think I?m talking about you specifically with my comments; I?m not / Your post just brought something to mind that I thought I would share

No doubt, with those with the fragile egos.... Pretty soon Pintos will come out and try to race...plus all those annoying ricers!

I also had a similar encounter yesterday. A brand new Saturn Ion swerved right into my lane and back to his. He quickly settled down next to me and gave me the look. Then boom! he took off. I laughed and met him again at the next stop. Guess what, he won. I had my 5 years old daughter in my car and wasn't about to risk her for the sure kill or anything else in the world.

I don't know if that Saturn was "Red Line" one or not. But nevertheless.
