Thumbs up Boxster!!

Ok I'm going to post this story although I'm sure I'll get called out by the "magazine-racing experts". I was driving down the North Dallas Tollway (good place to troll for more expensive cars w/less zoom) when this Porsche did a 100 zoom by. I was running a little late for class so I thought, ehh I'll use him as an automotive full-back. We came up on some traffic and so we both had to slow down, I saw him look into his rear-view mirror and knew that he knew what I was doing. As soon as traffic cleared he downshifted and gunned it. I knew that he had gunned it because of the puff of black smoke that came from his tailpipe (if you are unclear if someone in front of you is doing some hard acceleration just look for the smoke from the tailpipe or the sulfur like smell on smaller and foreign cars). I figured he was going to accelerate when he got the chance so I was already in my prefered gear. Needless to say he didn't pull on me at all. The driver then did a 3 lane change so he wouldn't avoid his exit. It would've been nice to go further with the driver but I'm sure he was surprised that his little porsche didn't pull away from a Saturn costing less than half what he spent. I think what I love most about this car is that it takes the "Status-quo" and turns it on its ear, gotta love that in any car!
