Thus over on the other side of the hill stopped at a long red light, he came up rolled down window on my right and complimented the car, thumbs up and then I turned left, he came back into the left turn lane and did his left also!
When riding in one of the family Porsches, I love to play with the Corvettes!

When I was young, dumb, and immortal I used to street race, a lot.
Then I grew up. There was a very specific incident that contributed to it. Let's just say if I did not know my car as well as I did and had I hesitated even a fraction of a second I have little doubt that myself and my buddy Kurt who was with me would both be dead.
The problem with it is not necessarily one's self.
You have no idea of your "opponents" abilities.
Way too many people with money who can afford cars that they are completely incapable of operating at any where near the cars capabilities.
If they buy it due to their lack of skill and you are involved you are royally and completely ****ed.
It's just not worth it.
