Default 911 butthead!

Yesterday was beautiful here in the Northeast. Decided to go for a quick blast, not much traffic. Was cruising down the highway when I spotted a black 911 coming up on me pretty fast. Goosed it a little and the game was on, nothing too crazy just two car guys having some fun on a sunny afternoon. After several miles of this, I moved to the center lane to let him pass, as he passes I give him a big thumbs up and what did I get in return, nothing, he had his head back and one hand on the wheel like he didn't know I was there. I was getting ready to show him my butt, when I figured he wasn't worth it, just let him go and enjoyed the rest of the day.

He probably thought you guys were racing and he just won.

Same experience yesterday with a green C4. Lots of fun, no speed limits exceeded (he says with his fingers and toes crossed ) and he just ignored me when I pulled up parallel to him.

So who cares - it was fun. I moved on to the next victim, errr.. continued on my designated route

I was returning home last night from a Cruise-in and some young punk in a Saturn sedan pulled up along side my '02 vert 6 speed and gunned it. I just ignored him.

He was probably pissed off that your commoner Chevy could run with his $90,000 "proper" sports car.

I had the same thing happen to me except the kid was in a Cavalier.
Usually I give some kind of acknowledgement, but a Cavalier??
I didn't think it was worth the effort.

I embarrassed a turbo convertible 3 times on the highway, When I slowed down to give him a thumbs up after the third run, he just looks at me and points ahead to the road.

I'm really surprised at how slow those cars really are.

What do a hemorroid and a Porsche have in common? Sooner or later every a--hole gets one!

I'll tell you something - with few exceptions, whenever I line up with a Porsche, the girly boys won't even look over. They're hoping that if they don't acknowledge me, then I don't exist. And if I don't exist, they won't have to limp away with their tails between their legs!
