I left off people accelerating when you want to pass from my list of peeves as it has faded to usually just kind of an annoyance if not comic relief with the GTI esp once I got the tune (should have done THAT way earlier). At freeway speed I can often just leave it in 6th and let the torque take care of it, but if they try, dropping a couple gears means they better have something pretty hot AND be ready for it. I'm trying to remember anyone that even tried that hard.

But this IS the national sport of Colorado - the most egregious example was someone (probably reflexively) getting on it in a diesel dually pickup, towing a long (not just the 2 side-by-side) horse trailer. On my motorcycle. I was laughing for miles after that one.

My theory about why people do this shit, btw, is they are basically fundamentally unhappy vs fundamentally happy and ok with you also being happy.

Edit: I didn't know what the Small World ride is. It does not sound enjoyable.
