Hi,

Well from nothing all summer and most of the winter to 3 little highway races this week. Wow.

I was driving West on a large highway in my area, lightly scattered with traffic. I just merged onto the highway. I seen a nice Audi, you now the four doors with double exhaust. A nice looking car. Too much money for me to justify the thing and a little bit of a status car but besides all that crazy social human crap it's a nice car to look at.

Anyway, in the fast last an Escort GT, I noticed right away because I owned one, must of seen me merge, so this guy went from the fast lane, into the middle lane where I was, ran up right on me, and then moved to the right lane to pass me. He slowed down and then hit the gas. He had a dragon style exhaust on his car, and I think it was automatic. When he hit the gas it made a lot of noice, no resonator for sure, but the car didn't really pull ahead until 3-4 seconds later. I didn't do anything, so this guy gets infront of me and pushes his breaks. I guess he wants a highway race. So I down shift to 3rd and hit the gas and get beside him. He hits the gas and I change to 4th. I didn't hit the gas I just stayed beside him. He tried to lose me for a whle but I stayed with him. He was at a loss at to what to do and trying like crazy. I kepted looking over but he was deep in the race. I got a little bored so I hit the gas, in 5th now and pulled away and drove at 170Km/h for a while to lose the guy. Crazy.

No real cars race me, which makes me think that I have a crappy slow car. It's fast enough for me. I just put M5s, Excorts, and Neons, in stock trim in there place. I guess that's the job for me with this car. :-) boring.

Regards,
Spotovi

rofl, We've got one of those in our town. omg it is the funniest damn thing I've ever seen.

If anyone's seen Analyze That (the second one) and saw the kids car it looks something like that but just a little nicer. He loves to pretend he ca race tho.. Just like the spray painted yellow 92 civic with 12 inch wheels. Now there's a lineup. I wanna move to socal

I drive basically the same car you do and I don't think that is possible not even with a bad driver. But hey I have never raced one either.:p

Hi,

Ya it was a waste of gas.

I meant M5 as the Protege5. I guess an M5 is a BMW. Nice car, out of my league and interest.

Regards,
Spotovi
