lost to a prelude fly-by
I was just driving home (wednesday night) and i was eager to get home so i was going pretty quick up a hill and onto a flat spot when i see some blue headlights behind me flashing. I slowed down and this guy comes flying up and doesn't even slow down to start equal with me so as he's about dead even with my car (which i didn't expect AT ALL!) when i down shift at about 40mph and by the time i have the pedal mashed he has an instant 5 cars on me. I'm reeling him in up to about 110 (about 1/2 a car length between us now) and i missed 5th gear 3 times. So needless to say he whooped me after that and did the mandatory cut into my lane with his signal manuever.
Now there's one more mid 90's prelude owner bragging about beating a 5.0L mustang . Oh well, after the "race" i drove by him and he gave me a thumbs up so he was a good sport about cheating so i returned the favor. There should be a manual about racing etiquitte (spelling?) for ricers.....this was one flyby that i couldn't quite squash. I lost for the first time.....or did I?
