Saw this one over at the Pashnit forum...

Complaint Letter from the Portland CraigsList.org

The guy is obviously ashamed of his slow *** jeep.....

Funny, those Honda guys don't seem to challenge me. Maybe they are and I just don't notice.

 

[Rentaroo]

Hmm....I own a Jeep too, and have noticed the same thing.....funny...

TC, are you talking in your jeep, or on your feejer? Every once in a while I'll get one of those chumps next to me in a tricked out :haha: import come up next to me and gun the engine. Sometimes I even give them the look and attain the stance. I really shouldn't encourage them, but I especially like to do it if there's a cop around. Once I'm in the drag strip, tank covering mode, those imports can't help but let 'er rip. Then I take off like grandpa when the tree goes green. Unfortunately, I've never seen one of those guys get ticketed.

We still have guys around here in pickups that do that crap, too. All hopped up. And wan't to race my feejer. Sheesh, what a joke.

Thanks for sharing the letter, TWN. It was delightful.

My daughter has a Jeep Wrangler. The really slow one with the 4 cylinder engine. Has to be the wimpiest thing I have ever driven. Still, it is a lot of fun off the road and goes very nicely in the snow. I have never noticed any Hondas challenging me. I do get a lot of other Jeep drivers waving at me, kind of like bikers wave at eachother.

That's some funny **** TWN.

Many years ago, my brother and I are in his VERY underpowered MGB convertible. A black TransAM (yes, I'm in the South) pulls up next to us at a light reving his engine, obviously wanting to race. My brother and I notice a police car that pulls up behind us, but the TransAm driver didn't notice him. So, my bro. revs his enging also and gives him the "we're on" look. The light changes, this guy launches while we take off slowly. The cop nailed him in short order... hilarious.

Never owned a Jeep, but can still remember being accused of it many times in my FJ40. "Hey, nice Jeep". I let the girls get away with it, but guys got corrected. I was referring to being on the Feejer. I wouldn't waste my gas on the Honda set, and I think most of them in my area know not to challenge Japanese bikes unless they are trying to bait them into a ticket. Either way, it's a no-win for me. I have enjoyed embarrasing a Viper and turbo Mercedes (driver wearing Harley dew rag) so far, but I definitely don't go lookin'.

My brother and I notice a police car that pulls up behind us, but the TransAm driver didn't notice him.

And I always thought that was an urban legend... One time I caused another driver to get pulled over. He kinda cut me off from a right turn lane merge and, knowing a cop was following a ways back, I over-dramatized my reaction. It worked like a charm and I enjoyed a good laugh. It never happens enough to call it justice.

I had a Honda Shadow 600 many years ago. I got into a little race with a Mustang GT. They really didn't even win by that much but at the light all the teenage punks were laughing and having a great time. I asked them if they felt tough now that they beat a little 600cc VTwin and of course they said, "YEA".

Too funny.
