Splendid thread.
I was flying over I-20 the other day down low & slow and I decided to engage a cocky Civic who appeared to be traveling in excess of 100 MPH. I throttled up to about 120 kts and descended to the published engagement altitude of ~100 ft AGL. The sight of my flying machine must've startled the fellow, and he slowed down, as did I. Then, in a desperate attempt to get away from this strange flying object, he went WOT, but it was not enough - I poured the coals to her and off she went with a terrific surge forward, putting several airplane lengths on him - when suddenly, his vehicle veered to the left, careened off of the road and down into a ditch. I laughed at the steaming pile of wreckage, gave him a wag of the wings and headed for home. That'll learn him not to mess with us magnificent men and our flying machines.
Also, this thread needed this .gif for no particular reason. That bag that he's vigorously clutching is actually a bag of dynamite, multiple sticks of it. What the hell is he doing delivering a bag of dynamite? Must be having a senior moment.
This post has nothing to do with the topic at hand, how about that.
