Refreshing run with new SI
Drivin back from the car show at Bayside Expo in Boston I encountered a new Civic SI with at least exhaust. I was on cruise control and as I passed him, he floored it (could hear him and he "jumped") so I got on it too and caught up, passed, and kept pulling. No surprise, but then I slowed back down, he caught up and actually gave my a thumbs up!! It was the first time I've ever recieved something like that from a ricer... Very refreshing! So nice people driving Civics, etc. do exist... We then took another run on the highway ofcourse too, during which I pulled nicely. I think he was impressed by my family car! Nice to have FRIENDLY competition tho! BTW, the car show was amazing - I got many pics of the new Enzo which I"m posting on my homepage, along with sevearl other sweet cars if anyone wants to look.

I ran into an Accord 4cylinder on my way to work. Every once in a while I like to open the car up just to let it breathe. It was 3:50 in the morning so obviously no Po-Po on the road. I pulled up beside the Accord and noticed the bueatiful taillights he installed and the shiny hubcaps. I made my turn and decided to "get on it". This way completely independent of the Accord; I just like driving fast. I think he was trying to keep up, not exactly sure though. He was about a 1/4 mile behind and I decided to slow down to 80 and finish just cruising t o work. All of a sudden I see his headlights crest the hill behind me. He was one determined little fella. I slowed down some more to let him catch up and then I dropped it to 4th and went to WOT. I thought this time I will put a mile between us. I came to an intersection with a red light. Mr. Honda showed up about 20 seconds later. His windows were tinted so I couldn't see any facial expressions or hand gestures (the common sign that Honda owners give when you prove to them just how slow their car is). He made his turn and I continued on my way to work.

You beat a ~2.0L 4-cylinder!
I like to judge people on the type of car he/she drive and anyone driving anything other than a Max is![Gay](https://maxima.org/forums/images/smilies/gay.gif)
I can't think of too many Japanese FWD NA cars that don't need $$$ to be fast.
I wonder what other enthusiasts think of Maxima drivers...
