    Default Not one to condone street racing which was

    not the intention but thought this to be funny. Driving home from work (2 lane highway w/curves light drizzle) I came upon a newer Mustang GT following a sedan. The sedan slows below posted speeds for all corners and then speeds up on straights while the Mustang gets on his bumper then slows down not really paying attention to driving. First chance to pass I do and sure enough the Mustang follows then gets right up on my bumper. I increase speed and the Mustang backs off. Few miles up the road he is back and catching up quick, as I go through a right 90*turn posted at 35 and I'm doing 50, he comes up and starts spinning through the corner. He ended up not hitting anything but spun a 180, probably pissed his pants, but I just had to laugh, not sure what he was doing but obviously his driving abilities were lacking somewhat.

    Was great how the car handles, may not be that fast but bandles great.

    drizzle on a road before its washed with a real heavy rain is plain . the drizzle mixes with residual oil and can make an oil slick...which you know.

    Just pointing that out for some that may not know that fact.

    At least no one was hurt...hopefully he just learned the posted lesson
