S-10 Blazer cant pull ahead

I was with my friend last night when an old S-10 Blazer rides up next to me pushing up then falling back. It had a decent red paint job done to it, chrome rims, a body kit, and tints. Oh yeah he had fish gills on the sides. Granted I have M-3 mirrors that are not on a BMW, but they look good. Fish gills do not look good unless you drive a Saleen S7 or Z3.

Anyways at the light I stop behind him a bit cause I am not looking to race with the cops in full force. So the light goes green and he punches it a bit and then lets me catch up (still not racing) then he guns it and right as his back bumper is at my side door, I hit my throttle cause after awhile of trying so hard not to race, some people just dont take a clue and push you over the edge.

So I rip through my gears and I hit 2nd and 3rd perfectly and catch right up to where my front fender is sitting at the front of his forward wheel well. I hold 3rd while he is still trying then shut myself down in fear of cops down the road. Since I had gone so long without seeing one I knew it would happen. So he kept going and I got to the next light and turned my own way and left.

I mean I am not calling this a win, but it was more of a point make, basically showing him that yes, I caught up, yes I could have kept crawling and walked on by, so you need to go home and change out those gills for some more performance, maybe a big shark nose on front to give you more aerodynamics.
