ME :) vs. Stock lookin TC

Ok, I was minding my own business when this tc starts pacing me. I'm doing about 60 in the middle lane, there's a car in front of me, and a car to my right. He comes up on my left and just paces me. I don't know how long he was there for...I think it was quite some time because I did see a car there but didn't really pay any attention to it since I was blasting tunes and singing along (hells yeah). So I look over and I see him and two other kids in the car. They were looking over at me.

Now, I don't know if you guys know, but I have a broken actuator on my car (was boosting 5 lbs of boost at redline tonight...seems to get worse and worse every day) so I really did not feel like racing since my moms corolla could keep up with me. However, he was there for like a good minute, with people right on his ass holding up traffic. He was annoying me somewhat so I was like screw it, dropped down to 4th, kind of cut him off, and just go out of the way.

A little further down, he comes up beside me again....we are doing like 65 now and there's no one in front of us. I gave him teh thumbs down (I shouldn't of because he was relaly cool) while he gave me a wave. And I felt like a complete *******. The reason why I gave him the thumbs down was because every one i've ever raced has either given me the finger, or the ricer fly by.


So after I felt like a complete *******, I dropped down to third this time and just let him go first, then I nailed it soon after. I pulled away from him, maybe only like 2-3 cars by the time I hit about 90 (i'm just guessing, I never looked down). My car is only putting out about 13-14 psi now but I still kind of killed him...well wouldn't say kill...

But I feel really really really bad about giving him the thumbs down.

yea.. they are not much of a race.. my roommates mother has one and sometimes we race, it looks to be kinda close until about the 40mph mark then the boost just overtakes everything and i end up walking her
