Well, I just had to drop my 2c in the pot.
Bermuda is like one big autocross track, or two lane mountain road. I always get some idiot that doesn't know a thing about cars trying to race with me. They'll pull up to my bumper, fake into the oncoming lane to indicate they wanna go. Little do they know what lurks beneath the hood of my MINI. Or they think that I have a NA Mini and I just put the CprS exhaust on and hood for show, dumb idiots.
I wait for the next set of corners and put my foot down, they can't keep up. It's so damn funny. I let them catch up before the next straight stretch of road where they think they can outrun me, wait until they get to my door and floor it in 3rd gear, leaving them there floundering for brakes before the next oncoming car meets up with them. Once they realise what they're racing, or trying to race, they're good for the rest of the drive. Gotta love having the only CPR S on the island but no, I don't condone street racing. I just like teaching idiots a lesson every now n then.

I actually had someone in a Jeep Cherokee try to race me last weekend... it was interesting. Even though I didn't race them the passengers still gave me a thumbs up and what I guess you'd call the "rock on" hand.
I've had three or four people try to race me in my Justa. I'm a goody-two-shoes on the road so I don't give in, although it is tempting some times. :P My boyfriend has an S that people are ALWAYS trying to race. Mostly Hondas and Camaros. His also looks a lot more "aggressive" than mine... pepper white/black with viper stripes, blacked out chrome.

It happens all the time. I love this car for its sleeper abilities. Sometimes its some guy in an old muscle car. Sometimes a Civic or and Acura RSX. I'll even let them get the jump on me and I'll take off in a higher gear. They are shifting through 2 or three gears, chirping tires while I am in one gear and pulling them. I love to do just enough to win. Makes them try all kinds of things but it is just never quite enough. It is great fun this car. And don't get me started what you can do if there are a few corners and the other car is any kind of Toyota or Lexus.
