Besides a broken trans and a mis-shift, what grinds your gears? I'll start.

Had to go to a family birthday party in S. Jersey. My wife went home with her mother the night before (she lives in S. Jersey) so I would be riding solo down the NJ turnpike. The G8 was clean and it was a beautiful day so off I went. Now I will admit, I was feeling a bit saucy being by myself with no performance limiter in the passenger seat (aka wife yelling) and some angry music. Before we get too far, I will be clear no street racing took place.

Over the next hour, no less than 3 cars made it clear they wanted to "play" but either wanted me to chase them at ludicrous speed or would do a flyby and then weave through traffic.

1st one was a Challenger R/T that looked fairly stock. I would speed up a little to catch up and say hi. The faster I would creep up, the faster he went. It was clear he didn't want to get side-by-side so I decided to open it up to stop the cat and mouse. He went into the right lane and slowed down....ok. 2 mins later he must have got WOT and passed me while then taking the next exit. Ehh whatever.

2nd was a newer, lowered white WRX. Similar situation as the challenger except he decided it would be fun to see how many cars he could cut off to get away from me. I don't do that nonsense so again...whatever.

3rd and final, last gen 335i coupe slammed to the ground with a flat black wrap. Looks like it was modded. I know those cars with some mods can be pretty quick. He made it a point to catch up to me and I was clear of my intentions. Like the WRX, he wanted to weave in and out of traffic.

I guess I need to make a trip to the drag strip...
