Yesterday we were driving home from Wichita, and I had my cruise control set. I passed several cars and pulled back into the right lane. Some dipstick in an Toyota appliance decided to take off and speed up to come along side of me on the left, and match my speed so when the inevitable slow moving truck in the right lane appeared I would have to either race him to get back over, or drop back. I started moving up, and I heard him downshift, and take off. So I just dropped back, I have zero to prove to an appliance and driving stupid is not part of my makeup. So he was in front of me for a few miles, and he finally pulled back over, and I continued on my way and he just dropped back into the distance. I am sure he is bragging to his appliance car buddies how he beat a Porsche.
The speed limit was 75, and traffic was mostly moving at 80. I have no illusions he has any inkling of how fast things can go sideways at those speeds. I know how to run fast (On a track) and the 911 can do it with ease. I keep it on the track, and not with morons around.
