[s-cars] Re: other cars vs. S4

[Angelo Alexopoulos]

I was the one who continued the thread about racing the Maxima. But I never
said I was a master of the track. Hell, I agree with you that If I was to go
to the track I would be humbled. Forget about a mildly prepped VW, give the
guy a Vespa and he would do the same. But I am also not a master of the Stop
Light to Stop Light Warriors either. I just liked doing that to a Maxima and
the occasional overzelous BMW owner too.
