Ahh.. what fun...
minding my own business picking up food from PF Chang's... leave a light to hear something on my far left spool up.. turbo beetle.. they let off after first gear, and i look over to see what i guess were two high school girls laughing hysterically.. I look over, give them the 'seriously?' look, shake my head and laugh, and modulate 2nd gear enough to pull ever so slightly up to the PSL... I get a smile and good laugh from them as a reward...
They turn and I stop at the next light, when a 4rd or 4th gen accord pulls up and starts revving.. three obvious high schoolers in the car.. front passenger rolls down the window.. and i say, "Are you sure you want to get whupped by a miata?' Driver says, 'yeah!' and keeps revving. cross light changes, so i bring it up to about 2500.. and the opposite turn signal turns green.. I drop the rpms and start laughing... driver leans forward and asks, 'is that thing boosted?' I say 'yup' just as the light turns and leave him well behind while short shifting at 5 instead of redline... up to about 55 (5 over PSL) and i shut it down... he pulls even and drops it down a gear, wanting to go again.. so i drop it into third (rpm sweet spot) and bring it up to redline, leaving him well behind again... he turned off, i'm fairly certain on his way to the Shell station...
so if anyone happens to be there tonight and sees the honda with the calligraphy on the windshield header, ask him about the miata...
