On passing....
Driving to work, a fine day, light traffic. Come up on a Prius slalom pole, no biggie, passing straight ahead. Back off a touch going into the corner before the straight, at the apex the loud pedal was on the floor, 3500RPMs and building, swing into the clear opposite lane and make a clean pass. As we were going past a parked car, at 5000RPM and pulling like a freight train, I look over at a car well on to the shoulder where a hiker was herding his kids to the right side of the car to get away from the pissed off Porsche on the pipe. Who needs a horn when SSIs and an M&K muffler will do the same.
