Well I was heading to my first meeting when I got smoked by a new Suburu. You know the blue one they have been advertising lately. Well it was a two lane right ramp from one highway to the next. I was in the right and the Sub was in the left behind a truck. As I passed him he slid in behind. I thought "whatever" and started to accelerate. He stayed with me so I decided to give him a roadtest. I came up behind a car and he moved to another new merge lane on our right. I waited a couple seconds in order to slip behind and around a car on our left and then roared across four open left lanes and up to 100+. He was still manuevering around cars merging and I probably had a 20+ mph headstart when he got clear and came on strong. I had the pedal down and was very inpressed at how quickly he caught me. We both slowed down due to A.M. traffic then he punched it right probably back to a hundred and exited. Thumbs up on the Subaru. Hey at least the roadtest probably saved me the $3.95 for a Road $ Track report. Later in the day though I called my therapist(mechanic) to talk. Were getting together in a couple weeks for an intervention with my Max. Any Ideas?
