In attempting to catch and try to race me when I've had the SS out, I've seen him cut people off to catch up to me, make illegal "u-turns", blow red lights, etc.! I even passed his house once, witnessed him riding his lawnmower, and then shortly thereafter, saw him come flying up behind me in his car.

The sad thing is, the guy appears to be in his late 40's, had his wife in the car on one occassion, and actually has nice cars, which I'd like to see closer, but he's too much of an a-hole.

The best advice; IGNORE THEM!


When i was reading that, i kept getting the mental image of Napoleon Dynomite's Uncle in my head.

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
