Default Run in with a Mitsubshi diamante(what was he thinking??)

I'm on my way back from lunch today...just cruisin along 65-70 mph minding my own business.I notice this gray Mitsubishi Diamante coming up from behind me in the left lane(early 90's model).I'm not really paying him any mind,but when he passes me,he matches my speed and stays just at a car length in front of me in the other lane.This is when I see the big aluminum wing and fart pipe exhaust .I'm trying to figure out what he's trying to do when he finally speeds up a little.I let him go,but then he pulls over in front of me and slows down some .At this point I'm getting a little irritated.He starts to merge over into the right lane so I roll slightly into the gas to pass him, as I get next to him and start to pass he starts speeding up......It's then I decide"f-it" and go WOT.Well I let off at alittle over 110 and he's nowhere close.To bad, the wing and fart pipe didnt help.
What was he thinking anyway????

People just don't realize what's going to happen to them if they mess with one of these trucks.

I crack people like that on our beltway on a daily basis. Most are from out of state on vacation since I live just outside of the nations capitol...D.C. Why people want to visit that place I'll never know.

PS - Good Kill.


Crazy - LMFAO

Good kill! I always laugh at people's faces when they get beat by a truck. What size wheels are you running, 17's? What size tires?
