I was driving to Baton Rouge this past weekend, and it was raining. It was an off and on rain, it was at night as well. It was 9 at night, wet roads, and I had the cruise control set on 80. There was no problem here...it handled very well and I was comfortable at this speed on the open road. Their was additionaly very light traffic and my radar detector works just fine. Anyways...
This ricey looking car with a big fin raced past me. I paid him no mind, shook my head and continued listening to my CD. He then slowed, got next to me and started flashing his lights. And then he presses the gas...and at 80...slowly (IMO) creeps away from me with a very annoying sounding exhaust.
He then slows again, and this time gets right behind me. I got over to the right lane and slowed a little. The creep gets behind me again in the right lane. By now I am pissed. So I never even take it out of 5th and start speeding up. He jerks to the left and starts to pass me so I say screw it. I put it in 4th and press it down and he gets smaller in my rear view mirror. I slow back to 80 and he is coming up on me pretty fast so I punch it again even harder
This time at 80mph I feel the car rear end roll left and then the engine cut down...the TCS light on my speedometer started flashing and the Mustang automatically kept itself from going out of control and went straight again. It happened so fast, I did not do it the car basically said hell no you aint gonna wreck me! I put it in 5th and did not let the ricey punk pass me then slowed again. I decided it wasn't worth it anyways to prove nothing. But I am thankful for TCS.
Little later...he speeds past me again...and my radar beeps. I slow to 65 he keeps going faster. 5 bands on my detector and I hope like hell a cop sees him and sure enough...I see bright headlights behind me and the cop passes me...catches up to the other car and pops the lights on...BUSTED!!!
Sorry such a long story...but I am bored and I feel like typing. I know now what TCS is for...use it in the rain or dry everyone...use it all the time unless you want to spin the rear tires, like having fun. But when you are normally driving its best to keep it on to be safe if you got it. Cobra Radar detectors are cool too
