E320 Vs. RX8

I live in Southern California, Orange County to be exact. I hate blind side drivers, especially the ones that f**k with you.

I was pacing my self on the 605 S. and this RX8 just refused to let me into the fast lane. I endured this agony for about a 1/4 mile from Alondra Blvd. just past the 91 FWY.

When the cars in front of me started moving right, he speeds up as if to try and cut me off. All the while, I want to be in the lane he's already in.

So he speeds up along with me, and I look to my left and stare at him for a while, the coward doesn't even want to look.

He shift and I hear the RX8 roar, he's modded, he wants some, and away we go. I downshift to 3rd and my baby rip's!!! we go from a paced 60 and now about 70.

I feel her about to just let loose, the RX8 is pulling away, I redline it to 6000-6500,...I shift to D(4th), we're at 85 and I pull away...over 90mph

This bast*rd was pissed! After about dodging and moving between traffic, he cut-off 3 cars to chase me on to the 405 S.

After dodging through rush hour traffic, we do the same thing again from Euclid St. to the 55/73 South Left him after Baker St. at about 105 mph.

He didn't learn his lesson the first time and I guess after the 2nd, he better shut down that rotary engine before it fry's his brain.

I think me needs a new water pump after this torture to my baby mayve even a flex disk, I felt the tranny jump hard when I downshift it....

nice kill....you were driving past my hood..

I love the 605 S to 405 S connection...blast thru the under pass and it's on!!

it's amazing when cars KNOW you want to get over or merge, but refuse to let you in....I hate that...then they speed up...

Thanks man, ohh...btw it's called the "Orange County Blind-Sided Driver"

I had a friend in a rebuilt '82-85(?Year) Porsche Carerra go at it with me through the tunnel and it's like all hell unleashes...

We were spotted by a Ponch and John on BMW's(CHP) coming on from 7th and we kinda split in opposite directions, he went on the 405 S. and I went 22 E. to the Valley View exit. My little escape route to loop back on to the 405 N. back on to the 605 N.

He got ticketed by John, I lost Ponch!

It's pretty equal, but on a take off, forget it, it would kill me!
