You know, I have a good truck story. At a stoplight, one pulled up next to me in the right hand lane. Past the intersection about a couple hundred yards down there's some parked cars. Practically every time the light changes there's some sort of race...and this truck guy was no different. He even revved his engine.
The light turned yellow for the opposing direction, and he was already revving his engine and pulling forward...on green, he practically spun his tires. I just pulled forward to get rolling, punched it in first, and rolled right past him.
After I was three carlengths past him, I slowed down to the legal limit. I let him pass me on the right side, his engine laboring.
Point made. No brights in my rearview mirror, either. Call me weak, but every once in a while I take out my frustration of having face-level brights in my rearview on some unsuspecting schmuck like this.
Oh, and on Performance Products: At least you can get good ideas from their lovely color catalog. I'd never buy anything from them, as they're indeed horrifically Porsche-taxed, but it's a good bathroom read.
