Default 2 for one

Man, I have to calm down with my temptation to race. I was driving to work, making a right turn and I had to get on it a little to get into traffic when this Mustang GT(Like this one) rides my tail and eventually passes me. The guy's expression on his face was a cocky one, so my testosterone was flowing. I followed him and passed him and we went back and forth through traffic. Not at alarming speeds, but enough to get through traffic. It was time for me to merge onto the interstate and this guy was not going my way because of the lane he was in. Well, he decided to swerve and get behind me on the merge. I was really getting ready to see if this dude had what it takes to beat me, especially how arrogant he was. The light was green and there was a truck in front of me so I hit it in 1st and 2nd and the GT behind me did too. It was enough to put about 4 or 5 car lengths on him. Once I was on the interstate, he tried to fly by and I punched it. I was passing him good enough to make me wonder if he was trying. He didn't stay on the interstate, he merged way too soon. He dropped out of the race. So much for following me like he did. Then this Lexus IS 300 starts to hit his gas and leaves us, weaving in and out of traffic to do so. I was about to follow him when this SUV cuts me off and cruises next to this other car. I weave in and out of traffic and caught the Lexus, approaching at around 100. Then I see a cop! Hit the brakes! He was occupied with someone else he pulled over. WheW!!! Close. Then the Lexus gets behind me and we punch it. He did about as good as the other GT before I crept away. It was a fun drive to work. I was running late but got there early. Wonder why?[8D]

What a way to start the day. Good thing the cop didn't spot you. I've had my share of close calls. Think it's time I invest in a Valentine One radar detector.

Yep, the cop had his head down towards the window of the car. I was right at 100 when he would have hit the gun on me[X(]. It's hard to resist at times.

One of my favorite close calls happened years ago. I was driving my dad's 93 5.0 when I got into a race with a 944 Turbo. My radar detector started going off and I slowed down. The guy in the Porsche kept going only to be pulled over by a motorcycle cop.
