Spraying import gets sprayed back....
Went for a cruise this evening. As I was getting on I-70 to head to one of my favorite twisty roads, a kid in an Acura Integra(good looking ride) jumped dead on my azz. Followed me for about a mile until there was a long opening in traffic. I hear him drop a gear and then swerve out into the left lane. He gets along side me, and starts pulling up, dropping back, trying to bait me in. I petended to ignore him, so he purges his system right beside me. Twin purge outlets, one on each side of his cowl. Probably looks good when you're not running 75 MPH.
He pulls ahead a little again, so I reach back, crack the bottle open, and check the Microedge. Next time he drops back, I punch the gas a little to get him going. He nails the gas, and I let him pull away a little before I hit the arming switch, purge and nail it. I caught and passed him before he knew what happened. Going up south mountain I hit 160 before I let off the gas. I just let the speed scrub off naturally. Now that I've went by the exit I wanted to use, I went on to the Middletown exit, and got off. Pulled into the Exxon station to grab a cup of coffee, and he pulls in beside me. As he got out, I said, "You shouldn't try to spray someone with more cubes and spray too." Shoulda seen his jaw drop! When I came back out with my coffee, we talked a little bit. Come to find out, I know his dad. They live over by my golf course, and his dad has a pewter C5 coupe like mine. Now, he's all worried I'm gonna tell his pops.

Nah, not gonna tell his dad. I didn't like getting narked when I was a kid. He was just having fun. And he did pick a spot with no traffic, so he wasn't being stupid about it. Unless you count trying to pick on the wrong car as being stupid.

He probably just wanted to see the American legend in action, not stupid. Heck, I would pick on a Koenigsegg just to see it go if I ever saw one.
