I'm not usually one to street race much less post anything about it but this one I think deserves mentioning as it really got me angry.

Normally I take the interstate for about 20 miles on the way home, I usually run about 60-65 even though its a posted 70 mph. I do so in the slow lane and this usually goes on with out event. Yesterday as I was comming over an overpass just past an exit, but before the on ramp from that exit I notice that there is alot slower of traffic merging onto the interstate, at the time a large RV was right creeping up on my right. It would appear as though I would have to brake and allow merging traffic in or down shift and get in front of the RV. I opted for number 2 so I down shift into 3rd at about 70 and rip thru the gear, at about the same time I hear the roar of another engine, aparently there was a civic comming up the on ramp and had heard me and thought it was a race, to get into traffic this fool nearly side swipes me forcing me from the center lane into the right hand land where I had to cut off a large SUV. Angry, I laid into 4th gear and pulled on the civic who was romping away on his car, I could clearly see him in my passenger side mirror as I approached slower traffic I had the option to cut him off or let off. I decided to not cut him off for 1 I have recently installed my Level sports blue convex mirrors, which distort distances quite a bit. Risking it was not worth my bumper or anyone elses. So I stand on the brakes and give this guy the finger as he goes by.

Moments later he and his buddy slow down and roll down their windows giving me the thumbs down sign and yelling "WEAK!!!". I was like whatever, I knew I could totally whoop that civic. So then they merge into traffic behind me for about 3-4 miles then as traffic began to move around me I found them in my rear view again...So I was like great. What's thig going to take? we drove normally for about 2 minutes until I heard him down shift and he stepped out to pass so I dumped it again into 3rd and swung the needle to 8k then to 4th 8k and into 5th and pulled on him shutting out for the pass again. As I'm getting off the interstate they pull off behind me and roll down their window and said "hey, thanks for running" and I was humbled, I was kinda at a loss of words I didn't know what to say so I just replied "hey, thanks for trying"

I found out later through a well connected friend in out local import scene who the guy was thru the description of his car and that it was running a GSR engine. B18 something I'm not to sure. I think what got me the most is that I was just trying to get out of the way so they could merge then for them to talk smack they deserved getting their butts handed to them. I hope I bump into them at the track so we can go heads up.

I had a similar experience a few years back. I was coming down Maryland State Route 43. I was in the right lane and traffic was moving slowly. So I downshifted and moved over to the left lane. As I was moving over I passed a 98 or 99 Civic EX with an exhaust. The next thing I hear is this Civic down shifting and laying into the throttle. He never caught me or passed me but at the next light he rolled down his window, gave me the finger, and proceeded to tell me that he wasn't impressed, that my 'Lude was lame and that his '03 EX with I/H/E could smoke my car. So I say whatever and wait for the light to change green. We both take off and again he didn't catch up until the next light. Again he started slinging words my way and I finally told him that since he thinks he's so tough that he should put his money where his mouth is. I told him to go home and get his '03 Civic and to come back so that I could run circles around him. He proceeded to give me the finger again and drove off to the mall. Well I found his car, and took what looked like a parking ticket and wrote "Where's your '03 now *****?" on it and left it on his car. The next night I was cruising with my cousin in his S2K and we ran into this guy. Needless to say we smoked him and he kept talking trash. Man I hope I run into him again someday.
