Default From one extreme to the next

I'm on my way to work, and I end up at a freeway offramp at a light. There are 2 left turn lanes. Lo and behold, a shiny blue 350Z pulls up next to me. I'm in the inside lane, and he's on the outside lane.

The light turns and I accelerate briskly, and he starts to go. We are both cautious in the turn, and I slow enough that he stays even with me as we come out.

Coming out of the turn we both FLOOR it. He takes me a bit at first, but once he goes to 2nd I pull. Through my 2nd gear he stays there in my blind spot, but maybe loses a bit more ground. Into 3rd we go and he starts to pull on me at about 70mph. He shuts down at about 90mph with us being damn near dead even, however I'm slightly ahead.

At the next light we catch he nods his head and says "I almost had you". (hehe, I immediately thought fast and furious, but his class is obviously above that) We ponder a dig from a stop, but decline since there are kids walking on the sidewalk up ahead. It was fun to say the least.

Shortly after that, I'm caught at another light as I was leaving blockbuster. I have a neon behind me with a spiky haired teenager driving.
[side tangent] Okay.... WTF is with people who sit way in their back seat, slumped over the middle, left arm hanging over the steering wheel. I can't get over how pathetically stupid these people look. I will never understand this phenomenon, but I will also never stop laughing at the people that do this. If anyone has some insight as to why it's a "cool" thing to sit in the back seat slumped over the middle, stretching your neck to see over your own damn dashboard, please explain it to me. [/side tangent]

The light goes and the kid stays behind me. Once at two lanes, he moves over, and starts to go past. He has altezzas that have more water in them than the Titanic, and get this.... QUAD tipped exhaust. That's right. 4 of them. I couldn't even make something this stupid up, but I'm pretty sure I can count to 4.

I never get the chance to run the kid, but dear Lord... talk about going from one extreme to the next. WTF will people come up with next to do to their cars to confirm the fact that they are an asshat?

Good race. Was the 350 still slowly pulling when you shut down?

BTW, if I owned a neon, I'd sit pretty low, too, so none of my friend would see me.

That's why he said:
