I was rolling back to my place the other day when I notice a white mid 80's Supra behind me. The guy driving was annoying. He kept taking off fast from stop signs thinking I wanted to race and was really leaving the intersections quick or something.

I continued to drive normally until finally I'd had enough. Time for little Supra man to see the difference between the V-8 and his I-6. I didn't know if he was the turbo, and quite frankly, I didn't care. He was riding up on my butt again, fast, and this time I did something I almost NEVER do. I downshifted into 1st. I hate 1st gear downshifting, oh well, I punched it and he began to drop back quickly, I ran the stang into 3rd gear and shut down. The Supra was at least 6-7 cars back. Running from 20-75mph or so. Really quite sad. I've had a lot of cars put up more than that.

He got in front of me in the dual left turn lane a couple miles up the road, no "turbo" insignia's anywhere, I can only assume he had a N/A car. It was really quite slow.

The look on him and his buddy's face was pretty priceless. I think they expected a "Supra" to beat a "Mustang". Oh well, live and learn. Just cause you have a car that has a rep for being fast doesn't mean your model is.
