Default boxster learns lesson

I only street race if someone pisses me off and the conditions are exceptable.I'll keep it short.

I was heading down a four lane highway on my way to the interstate.I'm at a stop light and a small car comes up on my bumper, he's almost touching my car I couldn't even tell(nighttime) what the hell it was.The light turns green and this A$$hole is sticking to me like glue.We go through a series of lights and he is still so close i can't see his headlights in my mirror.I still don't know what the F*&%K it is.

I'm at the last stop light before heading over the overpass to get on to the interstate.I give enough throttle to put some distance between us and he immediately pulls in the right lane so he is beside me and both lanes turn on to the interstate with about a 1/8 mile or better straight away before merging in to traffic.

I look over and it's a Boxster.I'm thinking to myself...there's no way i'm letting him get in front of me.

It's a sharp left turn and then the straight away.

We both get on it and he hangs with me through the corner, as we straighten out i start to pull on him at 35mph.At 80 mph i had put at least eight car lengths between us.

The funny thing was he took the same exit as i did,but did't get behind me this time,instead he stays behind the car that was next to me.We turn on to a 35 mph street and he won't even pass me and i was doing 30mph.

I believe this guy has a new found respect for "American Muscle"
