Stupid Punk!

Well some asshat is looking to get an *** kicking from me. I was driving on a two lane highway when some *** decides to flash his high beams at me (truck beside me too at the time). basically telling me to get out of his way. so when there's enough room for him to go in the other lane and he passes me i return the favour as i get in the lane behind him. then he tries to run away on me. the ****er go away too. i hit 160km/h when the car starts to shake, damn stock tires. sucks too because my gf couldn't get his plates since he had none! tinted back window too so it may of been hidden there. either way he got away and i was pissed. when i find he he's in for a good tuning. BTW he was driving a ford probe.

was you driving the speed limit at least? usually people get irritated if your not at least 5mph above speed limit.

carry marbles for the tailgaters and a firearm/weapon under your driver seat

The stock tires are H rated tires, so its suppose to be 130mph max.

I think most Probes will take a Civic at highway speeds, unless the Civic has a good bit of modding, at least in my experience, they don't corner as well as a Civic though from what I've seen. On the way to Vancouver, for about the last 2 hours we quasi-raced a Probe (couldn't tell if it was GT) or not and we alternated my being on his *** if there were a lot of straights to his being on my *** if there were a lot of twists.

It is hard to trust the stock tires at higher speeds, especially if theres turns in the road, I can vouch only for the Firestones, they've taken me to about 185km/h on a trip to Calgary once at night (empty road) and in Death Valley in the US up to about 215km/h or so. When I had my loaner Civic from the dealership I thought the Potenzas had infinitely better traction than the stock Firestones on the prev. model years.

i was going 130km/h in a 100km/h zone so i think speed was not a factor in him deciding to **** me off. i don't know why the car was shaking so much. i guess wind at that speed could of played a part. either way i was thinking i'm not gonna kill me or my gf over this ***. i'll find him sonner or later.
