A Focus?!? FAIL w/. ricer fly-by!
#1
I was heading to work bout 4 am this morning. Either a Focus was at a light or I passed him. I was more focused on gettin to work so I didn't notice nor care where he came from. Next thing I know he's behind me & wants to play. I'm thinkin, dude, are u serious?
I come up to a round-a-bout, which is basically a circle w./ 4 exits, 1 each every 90*. He backs off. A reasonable speed thru it would be 25-30.
So instead I go thru at ~45-50 & pull away.
It then straightens out for say 500', just before I stop for light, at which time he pulls behind me.
I'm thinkin why didn't he just pull alongside if he was that "bad?"
So I hit the gas kinda hard to embarrass him, & run up to say 50-55. Honestly, it was over for him as soon as I hit gas.
Speed limit is 45, so I didn't need to push since cops are always floating in area. i'm done playin, so as soon as I got to 50-55, I mosey along at that speed. All of the sudden, or perhaps his
was pickin up speed, he goes past me at ~70. W/. only 1-1 1/2 car lenths ( too close for me), the dick cuts in front of me. 
So lemme ask: When someone does RICER fly-by, do they usually cut ya off that close?
Esp. when the race is over. I mean my truck isn't the fastest, but on this day, he was 
I'm curious what he had underhood; thought maybe he had a SVT underneath a stock body. On another day, he might do better; this morning it wasn't enuff.
