So earlier today when I was going out I had to take the freeway to get to the other side of town, and as usual, there happened to be a van next to me to turn onto the onramp as well

So while I was turning, I decided to catch up with him (lagged behind a little being in the outside lane and all).. that was cool but when I stomped the gas to do so, our car being a 2L zetec and all, I was expecting to catch up enough that he'd be able to pass me..

Surprise surprise! I stomped, and he ended up in my rear view mirror

COOL!

[I don't plan on doing that again unless it's quiet, but it was fun anyway.. good thing there was plenty of space! ]

But yeah, you guys ever get surprised how peppy your car can be?

First time I went on a road trip... it was a 200 mile trip, by 160 miles, my gas gauge had JUST passed the 3/4 mark. Nothing like awesome gas mileage, and a really comfertable car to travel in.. Too bad I dont have cruise control.
