I don't get many "Race Me" challenges.
I guess they see my grey hair and beard and think - whatever ...
That said, in the past 3 months I have aloofly (is that a word?) ignored two challenges - one from a GTR (who despite AWD very nearly put himself into the ditch with his windgat demo after being ignored), and one from a not-street-legal Nissan 1400 LDV which is well known in local drag circles. When a little Nissan LDV runs big Hoosier slicks, then you know that it's best left alone.
But I do often experience what I call "orange sports car syndrome".
I come up behind someone cruising along in his double-cab 4x4 (or boring 1600 family sedan) at 110 and he eases over to let me past.
Then he registers on
ORANGE!! and
SPORTSCAR!!, and suddenly he's at 140 screeching around corners on two wheels with his wife screaming in his left ear.
So many drivers just seem to speed up when they see a sportscar...
