Here's the scene. My car is a 95 AUTO with CAI, Stealin Exhaust and a 'B' pipe for acceleration mods. I have lowered it with H&R and Tokico, oh yea..I have all the 'bars' too. Ok now that thats out of the way.

I am crusing down Interstate 71 South in Ohio at a cool 75mph and loving the 78 degree weather...my 12" JL's thumping in the back...yeah!

So I am alll alone for about 10 miles. I check my rear view mirror for no reason and there is another MAXIMA gaining on me FAST and I mean FAST. I watch him come up on me and he gets behind me and about rearends me. No problem...I crank up the radio a bit and try to ignore him. Then he flashes his lights and puts on his hazards. I know DAMN well what that means I don't do a thing at first. I give the throttle a 3/4punch and it downshifts and runs from 4k up to redline and I am going about 90mph or so. I get out of it as he has not done a thing. Then he pulls up next to me and I can see it is a stock Maxima, nothing special. One thing to note, its a 95 or 96 SE for sure though. He is about 30 years old and laughs at me and points at my car. I was pissed at that point and began to get the adrenaline(sp?) going and started to shake!!! F&cker, I'll kick your puck A$$!!! It's on!!!!
I get behind him and slam it and am up to about 125mph or so and he brake checks me. This next part is stupid and I know. To avoid hitting him I pass him on the left in the berm where the lane isn't at about 80mph. He gets on my A$$ and I smile. I shake my finger back and forth like...unhh-unnnh, you aren't going to mess with me! I slam it an his nose jumps...its on....I am at 120--130---135 and I shut it off as traffice was approaching. When I shut it down, he was about 1.5 cars back.

I get off at interstate 70-WEST towards Indy and he is right next to me and he hits it again at the exact same time as I do. This time I am shocked....he keeps right with me all the way to 90 and I S-L-O-W-L-Y start to pull from him. At 120 I have 1 car on him. I stop in Huber Hieghts off of interstate 70 for gas and he follows me. He gets out of the car which scared me a bit. He came over and asked me about my car. Turns out....get this 5spd guys!!! His car was a 5spd and mines an Auto. His was totally stock except for his radar detector! He was shocked he lost to an auto maxima. He did say that he thought the car was nice. I asked why he was laughing at it. He said he knew it was an auto by the way the car was lunging on the highway...not sure I buy that...but oh well!


Disclosure: I don't think racing is smart at all. I think my actions were stupid. So don't waste me time and patience by telling me how dumb it was. I can tell you that I was so pumped that I was about to puke!!!! That was awsome!!!
