my vic ex vs accord ex

ok, so i was on my way to work, driving by purdue campus this morning. a very ricey '98 (or so) accord ex pulls up as we're going by the stadium, and revs his fart can. i wish i had a picture of this car. banners at the top _and_ bottom of the windshield (the banner at the bottom said 'top speed' ), fender vents (mismatched in color), cheap projectors and tails, and more...of course it also had body damage (dents so bad the paint came off). god his muffler sounded awful.

for reference, mine's an '01 EX coupe, exhaust only.

anyway, back to the driving. we had clear lanes, so i pushed past him, easily, just in time to see we were headed to a red light. sitting at this light, the guy is revving and rolling back and forth (light was on a hill). i let him start first, but caught him in 2nd gear . i went ahead and put another 100ft on him before i hit the hazards and slowed (me no likey tickets). he really had no chance.

now i'm sitting here at work unable to work due to the adrenalin injection. gonna hafta go out in the country driving for lunch, or maybe i just won't come back til monday

the hazards are how folks i know tell the other driver they lost...apparently not a universal technique
