i've got a rental car for work down in san diego. a new dodge stratus with ~7000 miles on it. found a 5th gen on the freeway and we picked it up at around 80. holy cow, what a difference. i floored it and i felt like i was pulling hard, but a glance at the speedo told me i was barely accelerating at all, ~90. i look up and he's got 3 car lengths on me.
we shut down cuz we come up on some traffic and as i pull up to him he's looking all confused cuz he doesn't know why i've got such a big grin on my face.
one thing tho. the stratus auto shifts a lot faster than mine does.

I took my MOMMY's rental car('93 Neon) out for spin, literally. I took out a PARKED car. I did about $8K in damage to the rental, totaled the POS parked car, and $12-15K in damage to my hand. Anyways, I was 17 at the time and luckily MY insurance covered it otherwise I don't think my MOM would have let me live to see 18.
Man those were the days!
