Actually it's not the fact that he tried outrunning a more powerful car that pisses me off. After all, only this year have I experienced a 2 liter. For the longest time, me and my family have always gone the 1.6 compact route. And mind you, our AE101 GLi has fought it off with much more powerful cars, Fortuners especially (tama nga siguro na madaming Fortuner driver na feeling King of the Road), and a few German and Swedish sedans.
It's the fact that he was such an ass for trying to not let us pass. It's against the freakin' law for goodness' sake.
Swerte nalang din siguro that I had the better car, or else baka nabangga pa ko dun sa oncoming car.
And his pathetic late-turn-in-plus-understeer-plus-lamp-post experience was not really the car's fault. After all, all variants of the Mz3, be it a 1.6 or 2.0, sedan or hatch, have been documented to have good handling. Just an arrogant driver with no skills to match.
Oh and by the way, nakasabay na kami ng 2.0 na Mz3. Down Tagaytay and on to SLEX. He was pretty fast as there wasn't a clear chance to pass him down the curves, but not fast enough as to leave us behind. The highway part wasn't really spectacular, we both hit 160 at some point as we weaved through the slower cars.
