Guess I was in a race tonite
I was driving home from dinner with my girl and there's a honda accord coupe in front of me in the right lane. Up ahead there's a guy trying to get his boat in his driveway so I merge in the left lane and so does the accord. Red light up ahead, as we're approaching turns green and there's a car stopped in my lane so I quickly go into the right lane again since we've passed the guy with the boat. So I don't downshift and at 25 mph punch it in 3rd gear (my car's a manual) and the accord makes a sudden lane change right in front of me. Figure since the guy was inconsiderate enough to pull such a stupid maneuver, he'd at least get the hell out of my way. He's got some ricer exhaust it sounded like, and has this thing screaming and I'm only about 4 or 5 feet behind and keep gaining on him getting closer and closer. After about 3 seconds, being that I'm pretty much on top of this guy's bumper, I let off alittle and then his flashers start going crazy. I say to myself sarcastically, "oh god" then my girl is asking me why this guy keeps putting his flashers on. I just tell her "I think the guy thought I was trying to race and he beat me". She just gives a pathetic giggle and that's it. Pretty funny though. Don't know what type of accord coupe it was engine wise, didn't pay attention, but it sounded like a lawnmower with that exhaust so I'm guessing it was a 4-banger. I guess I should've downshifted into second and flew by him, but I don't race in this car being that I'll honestly admit it's abit sluggish, although can occasionally feel slightly impressive when downshifting. Thought you guys might enjoy the story and have a giggle

Couple of weeks back when I was going home from office, the traffic on the freeway was crawling so I took the exit and found an empty street. Was waiting for the signal to turn green and saw this ford explorer sport stopped next to me. As soon as the signal turned red I accelerated and was surprised when I felt that my engine was sounding like a truck... then I saw that the truck was racing with me
My car was atleast one car length ahead of the him all the time without me even trying to race him and then when I saw the next signal turn red I eased off the gas a good 100 meters ahead and was coasting. The guy overtakes me after a couple of seconds, goes 20 meters ahead and braked and showed the finger to me as if I lost the race. I was like wtf
