Vert vs. umm... Cherokee
 
Theres this country road that is a back way from Indy back to my house. It has straight sections, then there will be a tight 45 degree corner as it goes around the corner of somebodys corn field. you come to this lake where the road follows the shore. There is a long off camber sweeping left, then a tightish right, then a really tight 15mph 90 degree right. Everybody speeds through there. Its a fun set of corners.

Just as I was slowing for the first corner a bunch of teenagers in the Jeep come up behhind me really fast, right up on my bumper. I was going "fun" fast, not "race" fast, so they stuck right to me. I could see their faces in the rear view and they were just laughing their asses off. The next corner I didn't even slow down for and they followed me through, although they needed both sides of the road to do it, and I still had only one hand on the wheel. Then they actually honked at me.

The last turn of the three is as sharp as actually turning into a side street. I took it at about 45 in second gear, nailed the apex and punched it. The rear end came out and I drifted it there for a second, and when I straightened it out I looked back again, just in time to see the Cherokee slide right of the side of the road, off the shoulder and right into the cornfield.

I stopped quickly, partly to make sure they were still rubber side down, and partly because I was laughing so hard my eyes were watering and I couldn't see the road. It took them a second but they started to four-wheel their way back to the road. I figured, time to go. Even though they did it to themselves, they might just be pissed off enough to cause some kind of trouble.

I don't know if that counts as a kill or not. I call it "giving them a noose".

they were testing out sport utility part of their car. Yea, I've had something like that happen to me but on a freeway on ramp. A civic riding on his bumpstops was tryin' to beat me on a three lane on ramp. I swear that guy was just hopping the whole way on the on ramp. Ohh here's the kicker though, I was driving my daily driver, Nissan Altima 01' GLE, BODY ROLL!!!!!
