Default I didn't get an acknowledgement from someone in an A6 until we raced at a light...

This one still has me grinning.

We were on Route 10 in Morristown, NJ. I pull up to a red light and an A6
with a couple inside are waiting to my left. I just look over and they are just
staring straight ahead. The light turns green so I accelerate a little aggressively
in first gear. All of a sudden the A6 starts to pull by me and I noticed he wanted
to show his stuff so I start pushing my A4 until I get a little ahead of him. We
start to hit about 65 (speed limit 55) before we both give up. He keeps going
but gives me a thumbs up. My buddy who was looking over yelled "holy cow it's
a grandpa" in the A6. I couldn't stop laughing. The old fella still had some
competition in him. I wonder what his wife was thinking. She was expressionless.

I eventually turned left on a jughandle and he was conveniently waiting at the
light so I slowed down as I passed in front and gave him a friendly wave.

I was thinking to myself, "Now that is somebody who bought an Audi for other
reasons than just the name." I was glad to see people that age still enjoy
a little rush now and then.

Default Let's see, you're from the northeast and you're flashing your lights? They probably think there is

a speed trap up ahead...

Not that I have seen in Houston. I always wave or flash and have gotten only one response.

Default If you want a wave back...get a motorbike.

You will *always* get a wave back... except perhaps from the Harley boys.

Default What would you do?

Excuse me for my language. When I went to get my car after dinner in a parking lot, I saw a stupid fu*k sitting on the hood of my A4. I demanded him to get off my car, and he said something to me in his language. (He was too chicken to say it to my face). Upon returning home, I found his jeans left minor scraches on the hood. I will have to buff it tomorrow.

There are all kins of people out there.
Thanks guys, I just wanted to vent.

Default I think killing people is bad but I would've made an exception.
