Why do Honda Accords even try?
This morning on the way to work, traffic was pretty light because of the holidays, so I had the extremely rare chance to let my Mustang "stretch its legs". I looked around to see if there was any law enforcement around, turned the traction control off and did some "spirited acceleration" away from a stop light, if you know what I mean
... I soon caught up to some traffic a half a mile ahead of me and slowed down to join it.
I look in the mirror and what do I see, a '95 Honda Accord barreling up behind me. It weaves around some cars to get in lane next to me and we stop at an intersection. The driver is one of our friends from South of the Border, and he's revving and he's obviously looking over at me, like I insulted him
. Of course, he was reduced to a tiny speck in my rearview mirror as the light turned green.
Really, what was he thinking? Did I threaten his manhood with my "spirited acceleration"? I didn't even know he was there. He wasn't next to me at the first intersection. Did he honestly think he had a chance against a Mustang GT? I mean, the Accord was completely stock with plastic hubcaps (not even a fart can exhaust tip). It was rather funny.

I had an Accord next to me unexpectedly bark its tires and floor it from a stop. I had no idea he was going to do that. After I realized what just happened, I paused, loosened the clutch and hit it. By the time I hit 6500 rpms, the front of my car was past his door. I dropped second and layed a few feet of rubber as my tires squealed past his open window. By the time I got traction, the back of my car was in front of his headlights. My wife nearly "peed" her pants laughing.
