Default killed a prelude

I was goin home from a baseball game yesterday and as I am getting on the highway outside of downtown Ft. Worth I see a red prelude out of the corner of my eye. Dude rolls up beside me, not ricer at all, had a basic exhaust, no fart can, lowered and it sounded like it had a whine, couldnt quite hear well enough. anyway he gives me this nod and punches it. Im going about 65 getting on to the highway in 6th gear not even thinking about racing and have to quickly throw it down into third. He has about 6 cars on me at this point and Im thinking this guy is probably about to walk on me. I then slowly start to reel him in through third and the bottom of fourth. We are about side by side by the time i shift into fifth. I look over and he has this deer in the headlights look on his face as I start to walk on by him through fifth. When I shut it down I think I might have had him by a car, car and a half max. Probably the fastest prelude I have ever come across. He slowed along with me gave me another nod and exited. Guess thats better then doing a ricer fly by, he atleast gave some sorta credit.
