Leaving the gym yesterday at about 7:45 turning onto D. Mabry from waters and as I was sitting at the light I noticed a black hatch next to me - dark tint - charcoal or black wheels, small 2-3" can on the back and a Greddy license plate frame - the guy had a bar code tattoo on his arm I think. Anyway the light turned green and we both rolled away smoothly, he was in the outside lane. As we get about 1/2 way throught the turn he hit and started to go, well I wasn't having any of that so as I got about 3/4 of the way around I rolled harder into the throttle. Well I just added my new swaybars so that back end is a lot stiffer than it used to be and I'm not really used to it yet! Well I found the breaking point and it let loose, the back went around about 3-4 feet to the outside, so I nailed it and corrected it, caught up to him in second since he had pulled away while I was sliding, then pulled past going into third and he shut down. Probably the most non-ricey hatch I've seen. It was more fun just for the little mini-maneuver than anything. Is that anyone from here?

I could see The General Lee coming around a corner with Roscoe in hot pursuit after reading "it let loose, the back went around about 3-4 feet to the outside, so I nailed it and corrected it,"!!
