Sharing my horror.
I wasn't ever going to say anything about this to anyone, but the more I thought about it the funnier it got. I've moved from NV to Eureka, CA and on one of my trips over here, between Redding and Eureka, on the 299, a wonderfully twisty, narrow road that just demands to be tested by probably anyone in a sports car. I'm no superstar driver, by any stretch of the immagination, but I kinda consider myself to be no slouch, either.
The road, this day, had very light traffic. I felt I was pushing the vette, and my ability, to the max, and really having a ball. After a few miles of this uninhibited canyon crashing, I saw something coming very rapidly in my rearview mirrors. I though, HOLLY CRAP, I've been busted! No, I hadn't been busted, it was a couple in a Mini Cooper trying to run over my ***. I kept on the throttle thinking, "this is just plain assed wrong!" I was in over my head and I knew it! I refused to back off though, and on a switchback, that scared the bejesus out of me, that little Mini passed me and left me in the dust! I couldn't believe it! It looked totally stock and it was like it was on tracks or something. I was left shaking my head in disbelief, astonishment and respect.
Who'd a thunk it!!
Don't mess with those little buggers!
