lane busy parkway. i am just suprised that it cold do 85, and at the same time take that turn without its wheels flying off into my windshield. either way i tailed him up to 95 where his car proceeded to make more whining noise, and not move any faster. i hope he had a feeling of accomplishment. after all he was driving a toaster with a motorcycle engine.

Default Hey now!

I SERIOUSLY doubt it has a motorcycle engine in it!!!!!

probably a can opener motor, though.

Default I don't think he was going that far....

I think that if you have a car that can BARELY push 85 and you plan on doing something sneaky to a car that can easily do +40mph over that....you should have the courtesy to at least let the more powerful car go ahead or give it a while before you go into his lane in order to free up some space.

Not snobby, just logistical.

Default thanks...

i wasnt being snobby. i was being truthful. that car should not be doing that speed no matter what, let alone cutting someone off around a very tight turn in traffic. if he wanted to prove how much of a great car he had maybe he should bring it to a track.

Default As great as cars are, the driver depends the most...

and as great as the A4 is, it isn't going to go 40+ more mph then even a Suzuki esteem. Just like how you like to bust a turn, so does the Suzuki. But seriously, just be careful.You only get one life.
