I got the red lights and next to me a young guy in a Hyundai pulled up next to with his mate in the passenger seat. I could hear his mate saying "its only a Magna blow him off when the lights turn green" and he was revving the engine looking at me.
I must say i would not normally do this but after they both started laughing at my car i thought "why not".
The light went green and i took off and when i looked in the rear vision mirror he was about 50 meters behind me. I got another set of light he caught up then they went green and i did it again to him.
I got another red light and i leaned out the window and said "Magna's not as slow as you think are they"?.
He didnt say a word but my wife looked at me and said "are you going to act your age now and slow down"?

I had a 3.5 Magna as my first car. It was a great car and pretty quick for such a standard family car. Some may even say it was the line between a performance car and a normal car for the late 90s early 2000s.
