So I've got this guy I know from the TDI Club named Jess that came to our club dinner last night. Jess is into TDI's and Miatas, so we get along pretty well. What's impressive about Jess is his job-he collects eyes from human donors for transplant. Interesting full time job...
And Jess's TDI Golf is a quick little car, but it's neither stock nor EPA legal. In fact, given the right conditions (AC, downshift, full throttle) it will create about as much soot as a good coal fired Chinese power plant.
Anyhow...one day Jess is out and about in his TDI Golf going to put a set of eyes on ice. He's going about 70 passing a semi going 65 when a nearly new Camry rolls up on his back bumper. Guy is so close you can't see the front plate on the Camry, flashing his lights, giving Jess the finger waving his fist, honking and in general being a complete asshat.
...so Jess downshifts, drops the AC on, and puts the loud pedal to the floor. HUGE cloud of black smoke...can barely see the Camry in the rearview. Guy in the Camry STANDS on the brakes with this OH $h!OH$h!OH$h! look on his face. The ABS in the Camry doesn't kick in, all 4 tires lock and now there is a huge cloud of white tire smoke to go with the black soot.
Trucker in the Kenworth is just LAUGHING HIS ASS OFF and gives Jess a huge thumbs up.
Camry driver comes back by, the thumpthumpthumpthump of four badly flat spotted tires to loud to ignore. Goes past Jess and won't even look at him.
While I don't "Condone" road rage, I find the story funny as hell.
