Wow, that reminds me of my trip to the Mt. Washington Hillclimb last
year, coming through Springfield MA, and some kids in a riced out Prelude
merged in next to us. (we were in a white stock 90 Jetta GLi) So he
thinks we want to race for some reason and pulls ahead of us at like
85mph, so we played catch up. Up to about 95 than we noticed his left
rear wheel was a DONUT SPARE! So we slowed down so he wouldn't kill us
when he blew the thing out. And I think it was all 3 of us pointing and
laughing at his tire and his stupidity that he kept speeding up to about
100, than got off the next ramp... I wonder if they're still alive.
