I was cruising out of the parking lot at Larry's Brew Supply in Kent which is right next to 'Intec Racing' (which has a dyno, my respects to them) when a jackass is his Civic hatch came whipping out of the lot to follow me towards I-5. He must have been all jacked up on the V8 bashing import hysteria because he would drive right beside me in 2nd or 3rd (we were going 40 to 45 mph) with his little exhaust wailing away, revving, accelerating...
I gradually accelerated to around 55 or so going up the side of the hill, minding my own business, Civic boy waiting for me to make a move. He followed me onto I-5 and I accellerated away from him, very unceremoniously. And I did not even break the pace of traffic! Little bastard probably thought he was hangin'. "Once I get into the Vtec, I'll smoke that foo". That and he was probably of the notion that my car was an untuned 5.0 with an AODE (the way that Civic looked, an AODE, out of tune Mustang probably could have taken him).
These guys are like gnats, those little bugs that get in your eyes and in your nose when you're just walking along, minding your own business.
Cheers everyone,
