Cool Jeep. Had one for a few years and it was a great vehicle. Almost think it was over optioned though. Dual front heated seats, a/c, ps, pb, 4 spd, quadra-trac ft awd, electric power side mirrors, electric windows, electric door locks, sunroof, overhead display, information center in front of the shifter, fog lights, automatic lights, ABS, rear window defrost, rear window wiper, cruise, wiper delay, towing package, etc. Mine was a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with the 318 engine. Awsome that yours has the 360.

I laid on the horn, causing him to drop back in behind me. Being that he decided to turn after me, I took the turn kinda fast (in a mild drift) to get some space between us.

He caught back up right after though, so I just bailed down the first side street, turned around and continued (now a bit behind him). He went ripping off, and I saw him pulled over farther ahead, just off-campus. Not sure what happened, nor did I care at the time.

People like this piss me off bigtime, especially when they show no signs of backing off, nor do they understand that they're being really, really stupid. If I'd been on something other than straight roads, I could have easily lost him (I had a good bit of grip, and do pretty well with drifting corners to avoid understeer). He came up behind me pretty fast too.
