Talking Ticking off a mustang, ricerocket style

So I was driving the other night around boston with Mystic3030 when I happened to roll next to a mustang, but something was odd about it...it had twin tanabe style exahausts on it...so my buddy decides he wants to hear what a mustang sounds like with tanabes - I give a rev and he revs back - sounds like a bumblebee with a bad case of influenza lol

I guess that wasn't the best idea in the world because he decides he wants to go for it! So I say sure why not...only there was heavy traffic up ahead. I decide that wasn't the best time to race, but he still wants to go for it and starts tailgating me when I get in front of him. And so for the next 5 blocks, he keeps on trying to jet ahead of me, all the while getting stuck in the other lanes and I cruise normal speed ahead.

This is about the time I decide this guy is annoying and I'm going to **** him off. For the last couple of blocks I manage to keep ahead of him just by regular lane changes, but every time he starts to tailgate me I throw on my hazzards lol

That must've really gotten to him but he wouldn't let up...so I just keep doing what I'm doing and throwing on the hazzards every single time Ah, to **** off a mustang in traffic was just what I needed lol

How do you "throw your gear for a split second in reverse" when you're moving? You'll hear a nasty grinding noise.
