street ricer pays the price
so im driving home from work last night around 9:30pm, going 75 on the freeway with the flow of traffic. Up comes zipping along side of me some type of Acura, tinted out, muffler, etc etc. Seems he's got a bit of power as he paces me side by side, and repeatedly jumps on it, trying to get me to go with him.
He drops back a few cars, and I figure he's done, but nope, he just wanted a running start. He blasts by me at about 95, right as my radar detector goes off. The nice CHP in california can now sit blacked out on the side of the road, without any light on, and there he was, just waiting.
A big
on my face as he hits the lights and tears straight after this guy. There wasn't a lot of traffic out, and I half considered for a second to shut this guy down, and I'm glad I resisted. Lord knows what that fine would have been.

The always seem to find me then gun it to show off their awesome "fart can" muffler. 
My favorite though are the turbo-diesel F350 guys that like to spew their filth into my car.

Nathan smart choice on your part not to get suckered into what our natural instincts tell us to do which is to whoop the idiot's a--. I had the same thing happen with a Mitsu Evo, but alas he saw my license plate and decided not to push the issue any more...HPD-RET aka Honolulu Police Dept. Retired..

The worst things happen when people are trying to race others on a public road. Most people who do that are full of adrenaline and can't think logically at all.
I think any form of spirited driving beyond what is legal on public roads is a bad idea, but street racing by far is the worst. When you're street racing, you're definitely putting ego above ability.

Always tough to resist these morons but you did the right thing and he got what he deserved.
I just cannot imagine what someone with a car like that is thinking going up against a Vette
. Has to be someone that is a few cards short of a full deck.

Anyone who spends thousands of dollars to make a car designed for longevity and good gas mileage go as fast as a base Mustang V6 has to be short a few lights in the string.
I see it all the time as well. Going home from work, traveling down the highway minding my own business and it happens. Here comes some ricer with his outrageously loud fart can and a wing big enough to create lift for a Boeing 747-400 trying to get me to race. WTF? Did your parents keep the afterbirth and throw away the baby?
Flip on the lights and roll the window down. They stop their stupidity and slow way down, usually taking the first exit. Thank God. Stupid pinche pendejos. They should have their pictures put on posters for retroactive birth control.
