It wasn't really a racing encounter late last night but I approach a red light. I mean I guess I'm still used to driving <100 horsepower cars and I still see cars that just accelerate like it's no rush.
I press the gas to 2500, then short shift to second. (Sometimes I wish I had old-euro gearing). I reach 50km/h in reasonable time and I still notice the Prius right on my ass. I signal right and pulled over to the right and roll at 20-25 km/hr. I roll for 10 meters and the Prius looks like it wants to turn right at the minor intersection. In fact it does! I' m still rolling at walking speed now and just let the poor soul go because just a clip costs easily a thousand bucks. I come to a dead stop and just wonder what happened for a few seconds.
I decide to follow. Its gone! I go up a couple small blocks and turn back as global warming is no good. I turn right again at a major road. It is that guy coming out of the alley! He doesn't even look at me; but he is smiling with an indescribable grin! Was he intentionally driving around to mess with people's mind?
I wonder if it is because some days my FR-S looks like a cockroach.
