The next time I find you tailgaiting me hopefully I will be driving a diesel so I can leave a non-removable greasy black layer of soot on your windshield and car.

I find that effectively removes the problem.
Ah the joy of owning a diesel. I have a pot on my dash allowing me to change the output of the modulating piston movement sensor of the fuel pump, so I can dump a whole lot more fuel in at full load then what the ECU would normally allow. Now I normally used that with a solenoid controlled turbo bleed so I can push more air in and not smoke like a freight train. But sometimes when I had tailgaters I often forgot to flip the solenoid on when mashing it to get out of their way.

FE tends to cool the temper down, but the pot is still there, inches from the stick, so tempting, and sometimes it wins.
