Took down a Honda...
Took down a Honda... I was in NW burbs of Chicago on Sunday afternoon, minding my business in the middle lane on I think 335, near Schaumburg...Pass a Honda Civic with a smallish fartcan, I actually commented to my friend about the lack of HUGE size. 
Decent traffic at the time, not crazy...
Of course, after I get 2-3 cars in front, I received the "FLY BY"...
He slows down, does some gunning of the engine...Ah, pretty loud blow off valve. At one point, I catch a glimpse of a front mount, kind of hidden by the front bumper....
He then goes from the lane on my right, to the lane on my left & slows beside me, I take a look at his girl in the passenger seat....Not bad!
I'm not even thinking of doing anything....
He puts down the passenger side window & tries to talk to me.
Both of our lanes are pretty clear immediately in front of us. At some point, I hear, "wanna do a 60 punch?" I'm like sure...Pull it down out of OD, slow to around 55-60, give it about 1/2 throttle & let out, he takes the hit----I give it to him, about a 1/2 car in total & then I dropped the hammer. 
I pull him in & put 1 & half or a little more on him by 80 mph or so.
Once I let up & he gets back to my side he gives me the thumbs up & I return the favor.
It wasn't much of a run, something different for me on a Sunday afternoon though, don't see that around where I live. That night I passed a chance to run with a '86 Mustang that I saw on Golf Rd in Schaumburg, it was too cold & the roads had plenty of bigass potholes.
