Default Riced by my own kind...

I was cruising at night on a random road(john c law is always watchin)and as i pass an intersection heading west, a navy blue SS is facing south at the red.
He sees me and cuts it to head right.He paces me a bit and we come to stop at the next light.Coast is clear, so its on..Now this particular road has some brick inlayed parallel to the crosswalk.So i decide to launch on the pavement, instead of pull door to door and wheelhop my brains out.
This put me exactly nose to tail with this guy.I noticed no tips,so i assume hes got dumps.Greenlight and we go at it.Nose to bumper to 120mph.He didnt pull and i didnt tug.
I let off at 123 feeling like this was good and it was fair.Then the ultimate sin....He hits me with hazards.
Im shaking my head in disbelief.He knows i was at his side.Its no crime to shut it down( mr LAW)in an area of 1/3 our speed.
Im lookin for navy blue and i want a rematch door to door.Thanks to the guy for turning right and not givin me round 2.He wont miss my car.....not too many like mine around here.

I would like to add, that i use the term "rice" VERY LOOSELY........Just kinda got me frustrated, at the fact that there was no respect or coolness on his part.It would be sweet if "navy blue"read this and spoke up.

You ran into a "Ricer" driving a nice car. Damn disrespectful.

Nice run, too bad he had to ghey it all up by doing that. Not sure why some people feel the need to do that, but I had a similar experience on a highway after putting boatlengths on this guy. My exit was coming up and as I exited I seen him fly by with his flashers on, I could only laugh, very odd.

ha ha, my favorite thing to do is the kick it down when I see them coming up to fly by and then putting lengths on them again always makes me laugh , I've never done the hazards or fly by thing but if I knew the person I might do it to be funny

Alot of guys at work were in disbelief of the miles on my car.You know most cars are a nightmare after 130k.The kicker is my car(after a carfax)and searching was a GM execs daily driver in 98 and 99.So i assume it got all the nice pampering when new and had one other owner before me.
The 4l60 is still kickin and i have a rear main seal leak.Ive done as much as i can "hands on" to make my car run superb.
When i bought the car from a guy...he had these big 20" chrome wheels on it.I drove it and the car was beggin for mercy.So off came the "Wagon Wheels".My next big mod is a 9" rear.Thats where im choosing to start versus going all out on power.
