I was coming back from sailing today and pulled up alongside an old MB
560, the tiny little coupe.  Guy driving (at least twice my age) just
floored it as the light turned green.  I lost a bit 'cause I was at idle,
but I caught him in second.  Plus I had 3 passengers and sailing gear.  I
thought I'd stop doing the stoplight drag after the first couple weeks.  I
must really love this car.  (As did my passengers, especially after the
bit of speed.)
