Ok, I know the Acura 3.2 isn't all that. But the race was kinda fun. We were at this light. I was behind a 3rd Gen max in the middle lane. There was an old POS Integra in the right, and the 3.2 in the left lane. The light turns green, and all three of those cars took off really fast. I didn't bother to do anything, but my friend and I both knew they were all racing each other. The 3.2 was beating the Max and the Integra. So they're like 10 lengths ahead of me and get hit by another light. So they're all stopped, same lineup, only this time I pull behind the 3.2 cause I know that car is gonna be the fastest when the light turns green. This time, I have all the intentions on giving that car a run for it's money. So the light turns green, and sure enough, they all take off again. So i'm punching it in the left lane, cut off the 3rd gen max in the middle, and by the end of second gear, I was half a car length on the 3.2. And guess what, the person driving was an OLD A$$ lady! She must have been at least 50. So her and I are still flooring it. I'm putting more and more distance between us. I look down at the speedometer, and I'm hitting 110! To my great surprise, SHE WAS STILL chasing after me! We're both weaving in and out of traffic, and she's still trying to hang. Anyway, to make a long story short, I smacked her down, put on my hazards, then slowed down to get off on my exit. I gave her a thumbs up through my sunroof, and she replied the same way. I just thought it was FREAKING HILARIOUS that a 50 some odd old lady would race, especially like THAT! Oh yea, sorry about the long post!

Some funny stories guys. I really don't get up into the MD area too much. But I have gotten into a couple of races on 270 before. I've gotten nailed going 95 on that road too. Luckily for me, I couldn't find my license at the time, and while the cop was checking out my info, I found it, so instead of giving me a reckless speeding ticket, he gave me ticking for failing to present license upon demand.

Well hopefully catch one of you Maximas on 270.

It's at the New Carrolton Metro station in MD. It's off of Rt 50, when you pick it up from I-495 You can go there every friday and saturday nights. They usually run from 12 to 4 in the morning. It's sweet. We need to get more maxima owners down there to show the ricers what's up. Esp. 5th gen owners. I think i'm the only one that goes down there.

Re: KILL
I had a similar story on the GCP many years ago. I had a T-Bird regular 3.8 V6 nothing too fancy, but I was young and fearless, so in traffic that makes up for a lot of horses.
Anyway I start playing tag with a Lotus (I forget which model, it is so long ago) on the GCP going from Queens out towards Long Island. We'd go through these sequences where he blows away from me and then I bust my butt through traffic to catch up and away we go again. Anyway, he finally pulls off and gives me the nod, and I look at him and it is this wrinkly old guy must have been atleast 70 (if not more) wearing a cap, scarf and driving gloves.
I was floored.

well, I hope the cop doesn't show up...... I was told to get there at 8:30 am, so maybe the officer will still be asleep The ticket was for $135 and 2 points, but I hope I get the points off or reduced to 1. I'll pay the fine or whatever as long as I get the points off.....

As long as you pay them their money, they could care less about the points. But pray the cop doesn't show, then you're in the clear!

That's not bad at all. See, told you. All MD wants is money. Pay a fine, no points, no worries =). Glad it all worked out for you!
