My wife and I were going to a BBQ in Bath PA today, We drove up from Delaware. We were in my 2000 C5. Traffic was heavy so I could not really play. We were just cursing along and we got onto the PA turnpike NE ext. Like I said traffic was heavy.. In front of Us were 5 imports(RICE) playing in traffic, They were slowing down in the left lane then when traffic ahead was clear they were racing and crossing lanes and cutting people off. I got next to one a Toyota Supra Blk, His a##hole friends were just in front of me and he was beside me in the right lane, He did not have anyone in front of him for a good 1/4 mile he punches it and pulls away from me, I am blocked by his friends and I am only doing 75, then I see white and black smoke start coming from the back of the car, he then pulls into the left lane in front of his friends and then I pass him going 65, I look over and he is on his nextel and flipping out. I then look in the rear view and he pulls over onto the shoulder and puts his hazards on. His friends follow and pull over as well.
I looked at my wife and said, I am so glad I have a Vette and it is American made.

Just thought I would share this interesting drive.

Odd, Supra powerplants are usually bulletproof.
