Not saying I'm the most nimble but...
Driving back to the office after hitting some putts at lunch down the road, there is a nice 4 lane back road that goes down a hill and turns 90 degrees dead left at the bottom. Speed limit says 15 mph, so I usually go down the hill at about 40, brake and the last second and throw the car around the corner. Well today some moron in some red rice car is riding on my rear when we get to the corner. As I made the corner I look back and I can see this guys hands on his steering wheel desperately fighting to keep the car on the road as he's fishtailing back and forth, I thought for sure he was going to lose it.
It's so wrong to take pleasure in the pain of others, but oh man was that funny!
Needless to say, he didn't ride my rear end the rest of the way down the road.

lol,
a couple weeks ago two ricers were racing on the 110 Pasadena Fwy, when one of them loses control in the middle of a tunnel and start fish tailing and finally ends up sideways. Lucky bastard didn't hit the wall!
I was just watching in amazement.

Yeah I love baiting them into corners myself.
I've been driving the same road to work for over 20 years that has a great winding 90 degree turn. When I approach it w/ no one around I normally see what's the fastest I can take it which has been 72 mph. When coming into it with no one ahead of me and some a**hole on my butt (usually a pick up - the National Car of Texas) I downshift to 3rd and wind through the corner, hitting 4th as I exit and greatly exceed the speed limit on the straightaway. As I look in my rearview I never see them come on the road as I go to the next corner.
Usually makes my day

It's Rio Salado in Tempe, just coming north out of Tempe by Macayo's, under the new light rail system near Tempe Town Lake. If I see some Tungsten GT hanging around out there trying to bait me into a corner now, I'm not falling for it.

Hahahahaha, OK! I know that area well...Rio Salado is much better for getting to Mill Ave than University is.
