I was going on santa teresa (right by oakridge mall), about to get onto highway 87...I was stopped at a light, and the highway entrance was not far ahead. There were two lanes going into the onramp, and they would eventually merge into one lane.

Right next to me, at the front of the red light, was a mazda 3 hatchback. I saw that he kept looking over at my car (could have been because the for sale sign on my car)..but then I noticed him eager to go and get ahead...

All of a sudden he starts revvin some but I sit tight.....(my car is sort of loud/deep..obviously not stock...so I didn't want to scare him off...haha)

The light turns green, and i throw it into 1st and punch it....he has a manual too...I automatically get a head on him...and once I get to about 40mph...i'm about half a car length ahead of him. He actually stayed there pretty constant...but once I threw it into 3rd I just started to gain some distance....

problem was there was a FAT truck in front of me and i was going to try to cut in between...but wasn't sure I would make it w.out being an ass...so I decided to let off..but RIGHT then the truck jes decides 2 switch lanes into the guy with the mazda and all I hear is a fat screech and see the mazda far in the distance...haha...i know it's a lil messed up but I thought it was kind of funny

Yeah I knew someone would say that.


I hate driving on the same roads as trucks.

I hate that about 80% of the vehicles sharing the road now block my view of whats happening ahead, I think SUVS should be banned from the middle or fast lane!

There's a post in another topic that this reminded me of. Something to the effect of "Going early," or in this case, going without him thinking you will.

If it was the speed, he would have heard the turkey sounding BOV. Nice kill though!
