Well maybe, but I *really* disappointed one boy racer late last night who
wanted to play. I was heading south on 128 outside Boston, doing (well, a
speed reasonable and prudent for conditions), and passed a boy racer Subie.

This got his interest. For the next 10 minutes or so, he intermittently
tailed me, raced ahead, sat on my right or left flank, flashed his lights,
etc. Like a dog trying to get a human to throw a ball.

I had zero intention of racing him, in part because my snow tires are not Z
rated, and in part because that little Subie would have spanked my 3.0
avant.

Eventually he exited and I waved goodbye with a nod of the lamps.

I won that particular encounter, but only because I refused to do something
stupid.
