Well today is one of those damn nice days, suns out, everyone and there mother is doing something outside/going somewhere. Im going my normal route through town (which happens to be two highways) - 1st a red riced out civic comes up from behind me insanely fast, then just paces next to me.... I dont ever start things.... but my plates seem to grab everyones attention. There is no car infront of him, and one in front of me, he takes off, so i get behind him (in 5th cruising mind you), get into the other lane, and mash it - took all of two seconds to hit full boost, and create a 4-5 car lenth distance. He does the standard ricer fly by as soon as i hit my brakes, as I'm easily in the 100's on a 55 mph road. He is a good 3 cars in front of me, going the same route to get to the second highway, needlesss to say, due to traffic i end up right next to him at a stop light. I figured i had put him in his place once, thats enough - but no, light turns green - off he goes, expecting a race. I floor first gear, and end up a good 2 car lengths ahead. Just now i realize there is some bastard tailgating me like no other. Once there is an opening in traffic a blue Neon SRT4 takes off trying to get around me... needless to say he had to hold up traffic to get let into the merging lane for the highway. HAha, Now im on a major highway, that is slightly congested but opens up to 3-4 lanes in about a mile. Both the civic and the neon continually attmpt to pass me... with no avail - eventually the civic takes an off ramp and leaves me and the neon. The free way goes from having minor traffic, to nothing - he pulls up next to me, we look at each other - and both seemlessly downshiift, i dont know what he did, but i went from 5th to 4th, and stayed about .5 a car length ahead of him for a good .5 mile. I brake, as my exit is approacing quickly, and he flies by. So in conclusion: My plates just draw attention, but **** i have an exhaust leak and am only running .5 bar of boost.... still no problem showing these two clones there place. Ahh, i feel accomplished. Just thought i would share.
