Why do they try? (or, another Maxima bites the dust!)

Would have posted this on the "road kills" board, but it's pretty quiet over there...

Just another normal commute to work this morning on Route 495 in Massachusetts. This is a three lane highway with the normal complement of commuters driving 65-80. So I'm drafting in the left lane with the rest of the traffic when a white Maxima passes me on the right. Was that a "look" he gave me? Couldn't be serious, could he? So I pulled out behind him, and we're off. I passed him right away, and then it was a typical road battle, with one or the other of us getting jammed behind slower traffic, but I finally got an opening, and blew him and everyone else away. Amazing how quickly you can get up to a buck thirty in this car. When I signaled to get off at my exit (after 15 miles of high speed fun!), I could see him flash his lights (about a mile back), as if to say "Nice Job."

OK - I can't keep it in any longer. Last week on my way back to work from lunch I heard some tire screeching and looked in my rear view to see a new silver Mustang 5.0 fishtailing out of my lane and racing up to get next to me. I had already left the stop sign and was in 3rd - probably only 2000 RPM. Didn't even both to downshift - just stood on it.

He never caught up.

Hah!
