Default 1st kill

I drove my wife to work this morning - (any excuse to rip around in the s2k) Deserted 4 lane industrial street. Guy next to me in a Saab Turbo almost merges right into me. There isn't another car anywhere near us! I yelled a few choice expletives while suggesting he should watch where he is going...

Five seconds later we come to a light. I don't think anything of it but he launches really hard. I'm still a little irked about him almost crashing into us and I punch it after just rolling from the light. After hitting vtec in 1st we were even. After 2nd he was 4 -5 lengths behind. I shut down after that and he wouldn't even look at me. His wife seemed pretty pissed though... hehe

I'm not really the street racing type but this guy deserved to be b#@ch slapped.

Good kill. Extra props for showing restraint.
