Funniest thing that has happened to me. Was on the hwy, and this primered out EG civic hatchback pulls up next to me, and revs at me. He has a stock (looking) exhaust, factory hubcaps.
At first I'm wondering why he would do such a thing. I mean, what would Mike Tyson do if Steve Urkel came up to him and asked for five minutes in the ring?
After a few more revs, i slow down a bit to match his speed. Lo and behold, he honks three times so I drop a gear and nail it.
I hear his exhaust grow exponentially louder, and then i see flames come out from underneath the driver side door. Presumably, this is due to a solenoid on his exhaust cutoff routing exhaust from his stock decoy muffler to a dump right underneath the middle of the car. All the other little details started to fall into place - the gutted interior, the roll cage barely visible behind darkly tinted windows.
His front tires - they seemed a bit wider than stock now, come to think of it - proceeded to light up. With a bit of protest, they hooked.
That little car disappeared off into the horizon with reckless abandon. All I heard was wastegate and tire. 2 shifts later, and he was gone - there was no point trying to keep up.
And thats another reason why I don't run people on the highway.
