Earlier tonight I was heading to my girls house which is about a 20 minute ride on some local highways. I merge on to a connecting highway and notice another car slowing down as I approach. As I get closer this dude in a A4 matches speeds with me and keeps pacing me.
I figure hes looking to run, but in all honesty Im a car snob and wont run cars out of my league. Had it been a Ferrari,Lambo etc. Id probabley be more interested, but an A4?.
Suddenly he nails it and gets up to pretty high rate of speed. I can see him in the distance getting close to a whole bunch of cars as he weaves in and out and causes a panic amongst the herd as cars are darting everywhere to make way for this idiot. He slows way down, and I keep to 60-65 which eventually leads me up to him as this dude has slowed down to a crawl. I figure best bet is just get away from him and make my way for the exit. I drop to 3rd and instantly put bus lengths between us. I slow way down for my exit, but this dude is coming behind me fast. I break harder, but he stays in it and passes me in the BREAKDOWN lane. Much to his surprise theirs a car broken down there, and his lane is completely blocked. I slammed on the breaks to give this guy room and he manages to just squeek by the broken car and almost loses it upon re entering the highway. We get off the same exit to put us on I95 south and he just nails it. He throws the e-flashers on and takes off. Is that to signal victory? Dude almost killed himself.
Sad thing is I had a similar scenario with an Accord on the way home. Dude cuts me off and I change lanes to pass, but he just cant seem to handle that. He brings his mid 90s Accord up to prob 110-120? and when he blew by me it sounded like the squirrels in the engine were about to explode. Same scenario, flashers and everything like he just blew a Viper away...
