This morning as I was driving to work on I-5 I did a 5th gear pass on a semi-truck that was in front of me after a faster car passed me and the truck on the left. As I was passing the truck in 5th, it sounded like my car made a strange noise. So after I pass the truck, I let off and get back in the right lane. The sound grows louder! Then I realize it is in no way matching my engine. I look over my left shoulder, and I see this 2000 Honda Civic Si buzz past me. The kid inside is making some sort of signal with his hand... I look closer, and he's like mouthing the words, "Pathetic". ... Ok... um, yeah sure.
I ignore it, because I was kind of tired. Pretty soon I catch back up with him in trafic, and as soon as a slow moving person pulls into the right lane, he shifts down and takes off. I don't even get on it, just pull back into the right lane. He turns his freaking 4-ways on!! (is this a Honda thing?) About a mile farther down the road, again slow trafic has me catching up with him. Well, I'll try anything to stay awake, and this kid has it coming.
I drop down into 3rd, going about 55. I know that as soon as the slow moving car in front of both of us pulls to the right, this kid is going to floor it again. Sure enough, he shifts down. I wait... the car pulls off to the right, and he hits it. I just floor it. My car runs up on his bumper so fast I hit the steering wheel hard to the right, then back to the left, shift into 4th, and hit about 120. He's so far back there I can't count the car lenths.
I slow up, and put on my cruise control. About 15 seconds later... WWWEEEEEERRRRRRRRR"OWWWWWWWW I drop into 4th, floor it, pass him again as he's trying to keep in front of me, this time I'm doing roughly 135. No problem, pass him, pull in front of him, then turn on my 4-ways...
