I lose to Hondas and minivans all the time... seems every Honda in the world likes to race so when they pull up next to me... they rev that fartcan... and when they light turns green they take off... I drive off normal with a smile and say to myself..."Self, did he really think I was gonna race him, why?" same on teh highway, seems almost all cars feel the need to speed when they are next to me... like it impresses me that they know how to push harder on a gas pedal... whatever... meet me at the track... different story

Keep it on the dragstrip. I don't want to be responsible for careening into someone's kid/mom/dad/brother/etc..

Of course it's bad...If it was good it would be sanctioned by
the state,and the cops would be handing out the trophies.

If I ever lost to a Honda Accord with rusty paint it was probably
25 years ago while I was riding my Powell-Peralta"Tony Hawk"
skateboard.
