Cool

Guys...I couldn't stop laughing so I thought I got to share this....

I was just cruzin down the road with my two little kids in the back seats as I just pulled up to the red lights earlier today. And this nutter pulled up beside me in one of those Toyata MPV (not sure what they are called) and decided to floor it on the green light. I just couldn't believe what he was trying to prove!!!

After couple of wheel spins he started moving ahead. Of course, by then I already decided that I'll not entertain this nutter and began to slowly coast foward at normal speed. As he was moving off into the distance I could see him look into his rearview mirror with a big grin.

But the funniest thing is, when I caught up with him in the next set of lights, this fool drove into the back of this van & both drivers were arguing on the roadside!!! unfortunately the traffic was still flowing otherwise I would have taken a snap & posted it here.

That made my day!!!

Yours was a mature reaction. Gotta give you credit man- respecting those two little ones in your back seat...You were "Cool as a cucumber",they say.

I would have simply left the guy at the light. At a nearby intersection where the lane ends 200 yards past the light, I've been challenged many, many times. Almost always by a car that doesn't have a chance even if I did it in reverse. I simply nail it, show them BMW power and leave them like they're standing still.

Today, I was several cars back at the light. A Toyota Avalon (older 200hp model) was challenging some other car in front of me at the light. He was revving it, creeping forward inches at a time, and nailing the brakes so hard that the car was rocking at the light.
He lost the race but then got pi**ed at the winner and tail gated him, both slowing for the next left turn.
