Funny this thread was posted. The other day I took my friend around my office block for a spin. I was coming down a street and some Hispanic dude I didn't see was getting out of his car I downshifted and the dude fell out of his car and the next thing I know he's screaming profanities at me and starts to chase me down. Not fun!!!!

Ditto that. It's not anywhere near downtown. And it is slow enough that going around it in a gear higher than 1st give you little torque coming out of the corner

Maybe wearing cowboy boots when you are not a cowboy is showing off Austin.
Oh wait, what's that you say, you don't wear cowboy boots and I shouldn't assume you do.

Exactly. Take a dose of your own advice.
