LOVE MY CONVERSION

[pspeaks]

There is nothing I love more than entering a freeway going 25 mph slower than the traffic because the car in front of me won't accelerate!

yea, i tend to go in running just a bit faster, then come down to blending in speed.

You know what I enjoy? Being in an underpowered car like my wife's old SOHC Saturn 4 door saloon and having some absolute bone headed idiot in front of me on the on-ramp with a big engine and no idea how to accelerate Until they get to the absolute End of the ramp where there is no time Nor power left in your eco-box to merge safely into traffic. They take off like this at the very end of the ramp and you are left to hopefully not get obliterated by the other vehicles just obeying traffic laws. More powerful engines in the hands of those who don't know such as the ones I described above are far more dangerous than power in the hands of someone who has trained themselves to use it wisely.



When these people do this in front of the MGBV6, I have no issues. Matter fact, its really fun pulling around them and then matching their speed in front of them before taking off- Nothing illegal or dangerous, just hold their at a safe distance in front reminding them to wake up and quit using the "ON ramp" as the location to -put ON their make-up or put the cell phone ON their ear or turn the radio ON...

it's also kinda fun to see those power houses do their little last minute take off, and see you glued to them, just waiting for them to get out of the way, even though, i never go around them. it's fun to see their heads bob around looking in the mirror, wondering how in the world you were able to stay right with them.

Reminds me of 'the look' on the Miata owners left sitting at the light.  Gets me smiling for hours.

Ever have someone stop on the on ramp?  Pisses me off every time!  The Morons.

they just don't know no better, and i have gone around them, in years past.

Share a story; a S2000 that looked and sounded very nice!! took of from the stop light perhaps to show me how quick his S2000 was.
At the next light I was ready for him and stayed in front not by much but in front of him, I turn into the parking lot to get a cup of coffee at Starbucks, he follow me, then asked me what did I have under the hood (I guess he did not read my lic plate MG V6) I told him that it was stock MGB. I will never forget his face.

Yes told him later what I had 3.4 V6 Supercharged, actually I could have gone to a full length so that he could see my lic plate, but just in front is good enough, you never show everything, need to keep a reserve :-)

I sure like the looks of the S2000, very cool car.

yea, you have to know where to draw the line.

 i had a vette give me a little test, of course i know better, but, he was all over the road, so, i just let him do his thing, and go on.
