- I was once riding with a friend in his British car (TR4A)
- when he tried a variation of The Method.
-
- We stopped at a light with the tailgater behind us. Green
- light; my friend accelerates up to the speed limit as fast
- as the Triumph will go, then takes his foot off the gas to
- cruise at 35 MPH. Tailgater comes fishtailing by in the
- next lane, sideswipes the Triumph on the way past. He
- thought we wanted to race.
-
- And we got the chance to really get to know a really choice
- BDI! The tailgater was the janitor for a local beauticians'
- school, who'd gotten a reputation for cornering the
- students in the boiler room. Until they banded together
- and rat-packed him one evening, and threatened him with the
- loss of certain much-beloved appendages unless he
- straightened up.
