Default Killed '04 Maxima haha

My first kill

Ok maybe wasn't the smartest thing but sheesh I wish people would learn to be courteous when driving!

So I'm cruising at 115km/h (70mph) down the 417 I'm passing a guy at a fairly resonable rate and this 2004 maxima I see FLYING from FAR FAR away right at me, he must have been going 160+ easily. I figure, he's going to slow and let me finish my pass then go on his way (like .... you know a normal human).

Well he gets RIGHT on my bumper, INCHES, I think "hit brake" then I think, nah too risky, I'll just keep going and move over. So I finish my pass and I usually allow you know a couple of feet to merge back. Well this A**HOLE decides he's going to hammer it and pass me on the RIGHT!

Well this always peeves me off, so I drop it into third and drop the hammer When I dropped the gear to third he started to get beside me and then I started to PULL, he was slowly fadeing away, I hit 4th and pulled faster now, he must have still had it hammered, when I hit redline in forth I think I was going close to 190 (about 130mph), I thought I saw 189 or something when I shifted. I lost site of him about halfway through 4th gear, I just left him in the dust, when I shifted into fifth I shut it down and cruised back down to 130km/h
