I live in Indy. Yesterday morning this guy in a 2k? SE (Green with "RO" sticker on back) was behind me at a light to turn onto the express way (69S)traffic is light and one of the lanes end. I do the right thing and get in the lane that doesn't, punk **s gets in the other lane and cuts me off! Now I'm ****ed! So I jump in the other lane and blow past him and this Camry (innocent victim).

Now we are on the express way way, far as I am concerned it's on!! I jump into the fast lane, he comes over and rides me, soon as the lane cleared I floor it. I put a little distance between him and I. I come to another blockage, I dip down and back to fast lane speeds ~90 - 110.

He had a chance when one car blocked me, and he dipped down. At this point we are neck and neck. Him in the slow lane me in the fast. The blocking car gets into the middle lane.. I floor it. What ever the reason he's 8 to 10 car lengths back. I get to construction zone, flash my lights, slow down (I try to never speed in construction), punk **s speeds through construction and flashes his lights.

I just laughed. I think he wanted to prove something against an AE. I had my wife in the car and a full tank of gas, and still hung with and left him.

People shouldn't race their own, and should know when they have lost.

I try not to speed too much anymore, but some people $$^#@!

I've messed around with other Jetta's when i'm in mine. I don't cut them off or anything. I think it's fine so long as it's not mindless cutting off.

Racing is fine. Actually racing your own it tons o'fun since you know what you are up against.

Cutting off your own, or anyone else, for whatever reason, is just not right. Even if it's to retaliate for idiot driving, it's just not right.

When had my other Max, guys would get next to me and give me the thumbs up, then point ahead to say let's go at it, I would nod, then we would hit it. Bacause mine was heavely modded, they lose pretty bad, but then they just wanted to know what I had done.

People that have jealous cut-off rage against their own don't deserve to drive one
