Default Killing a Red C5

Was turning on to the Feeder road on 10hwy here in H-town and a Red C5 caught me at the light and we came around the corner and I had a feeling he was going to get it. He did sometype of ricer bullshit and hit it when he was about 2 car behind me trying to do some type fly by, being the nice guy that I'm I gave him the hit and let him pull to my door. Then floored it and ran away from him. I guess he didn't notice the lumpy, camming noise coming from my car at the stop light.
