Default Boxster. long

While in an S2000 while in the next to fastest lane (not saying who was driving to protect he innocent ), the S2K driver spied a Boxster coming up through traffic at a brisk pace on the 210 fwy. The Boxster was white, top down, new car plates.

The S2K driver slipped the car into fifth and thought, what the %$#, should have gone to 4th or so. Well, the S2K driver just decided to floor it from there as the car was already going close to 80mph. As expected, the Boxster goes by as though it had down shifted and all to go over 100 mph. The traffic opened up and the S2K went to the right as the Boxster was in the fast lane. By the time the S2K was merging towards the 1st lane while ever accelerating, the Boxster slowed down then seemed to go slower and slower then merged into traffic to the right. A mile later, the Boxster took the turnoff. Before that, the S2K driver tried to go slow enough to see the Boxster driver's face, but the S2K driver didn't feel like going 55 or less to let the Boxster catch up.

So do I

I just raced a black eclipse, not sure which model, guessing GS, GS/T or GSX and I won the first race and he won the second cuz I got trapped in a bunch of slow ass cars. Well I had to get off so I floored it and caught up (seemed like he was flooring it also) and I turned on my light for a sec, waved and jet right onto the off ramp. It was funny cuz right as I got off racing for about 20 minutes, I saw a high patrol officer pulled over with a silver eclipse with some euro taillights. I'm guessin if the silver eclipse wasn't pulled over, it would've either been me or the guy I was racing, phew.

I just had my first street race, er, I mean encounter, Friday on the way to work. I had been playing cat and mouse in traffic with a new Mustang GT (not Cobra). He had non-stock exhaust and a 5 speed.

He took a cut-off and made it to the next stoplight before me. I rolled up behind him as the light turned green. We were both still rolling. I punched it in 1st and watched for the tach to turn red.

By the time I was in 3rd, he was in my rear-view mirror! He was much more subdued the rest of the way to work. Kept a respectable distance behind me.

I just wish I'd had the top down so he'd have seen my bald spot!
