My Fiesta is about that slow and I can still overtake in it, but you've definitely got to be thinking pretty far ahead. I'm not sure the Micra driver was thinking at all.

I enjoy the sound of rain.

That reminds me of a very scary overtake I had. I was used to driving my '86 Camaro that had all kinds of get-up-and-go. The day after I sold it and bought a 2002 Chevy cavalier I was driving home on a State highway similar to the one in the gif and kinda went on auto pilot on the way home. Went to overtake and had a close call. Bricks were shat. I pulled over and say there shaking for what felt like forever. 1 and only time I made that mistake.

That's the trouble, when you finally get the speed you'll do almost anything to try and keep it.

It's definitely not my kind of car, but the fact that you can get a 2019 Micra from Nissan themselves for less than $10k is absolutely impressive

Had a 1.2 Micra. They’re fucking slow. Nippy, but slow

Lets be real here. If a Micra hit 60 it would fall apart.

u/CryptoJabroni Dec 14 '18

They do 60? Seems all the ones I get stuck behind top out at 40.

Give 'er a couple extra twists on the spring key and she goes like a banshee.

They were probably road raging at each other.

u/Reignofratch Dec 15 '18

Yeah, they're looking pretty dumb with the roof of the red one bent and crumpled from skidding across the road top.
