Default Lightning on the way to work

I'm doing the usual traffic/commute thing listening to the same old morning show on the radio, minding my own business...

The only thing I have done to my truck in a while has been some air shocks (Which wont hold air ) and a little tuning on the weekends. Other than that, nothing's changed... I've been nursing a sloppy rearend too, so I have been taking it easier on her than I normally do.

Anyway... I notice this dude WILL NOT get off my ***, we're traveling about 55-60 in the far left lane (5 lanes wide) and the two right lanes suddenly open up.... and there's NO traffic ahead of me so I change lanes hoping this ***** would try to fly around me... and he did as soon as I see him jump, so did I... and held him at my back bumper, and probably put a little distance on him by the time I rounded 95-100 and shut it down... by then everyone was slowing down again and he had to get back behind me....

I could tell by the way he was trying to look around me for a way ahead he was PISSED.... either that or he was wondering what was in front of that tailgate and rollpan that he couldnt pass.... I could tell he had exhaust, dont know how much, and the blower was screaming its *** off in my ear so it probably had an intake and or pulley.... either way, the little N/A 5.3 did it on motor... and a little more cab. I was pleased, it started my day at work well.

Lol, I love being a dick when others are in a hurry in traffic. If there was somewhere for them to go I'd let them go by but when they are switching lanes and being dicks when there's nowhere to go I like keeping them at bay.
