Ken,
I had a similar event friday night after dropping my date off. Some kid
in a Honda Prelude came ripping up behind me, and attempted to pass me on
the right. A little of the old German lead foot (My other car is a Porsche
after all) kicked in and kept him from passing me, and then I just figured
I'd put him out of my misery. Left him 3 car lengths behind, and then we
finally got to a light. He peeled off the line, but before we reached the
other side of the intersection, I was 3 feet in front of him, and was
easily 3 car lengths in front of him a couple of blocks down the street.
At that point, I figured I'd proven my point, and let off the gas (about
90 Mph, down city streets, not a really good thing to do). He continued to
race past me, and waited for me at the next light again. So I buried him
in the dust again after one block, and then let him race past me going way
too fast for city driving again. At this point, I gave up, seeing as this
kid was never going to learn that his car was slower than my truck, and I
wasn't about to push the safety limit any farther than I already had.

Well Gents, went to the Saints game last night. As we were leaving I
pulled
up at a red light beside a Jeep Cherokee. He hit the gas a few times and
when the light changed we both took off. By the time we got to the next
red
light (maybe 300 yds.) I had him by 2.5 car lengths. He punched the gas
again and we took off (some fools never learn). I was waiting for him at
the
next red light as well. He rolled down his window and asked me (kind of
sheepishly) if I would let him in front of me so he could take his exit. I
realize it isnt like picking on a Porsche or a Mustang, but considering
that
my truck is not built for speed (CC,4X4, 3.55, 318) I was pretty happy.
