Tonight's Kills - Acura TL and Civic HB (kinda long)

Nevermind the grammar errors since Im kinda tired right now)

anyways, I was comming home
from my gf's house which I have to take a really long road that has little to no traffic. Speed limit is at 55mph so I was cruising at 60 mph until I see these headlights creeping up on my and started to match my speed behind me in the other lane about a car behind then starts to pass me slowly. After we get into town, he floors it and we meet at the light which turned green as soon as I get there so nothing much happened. then we get to another light which was red so it was the new (not shure what year and I think it was the regular TL but I couldnt see the badging but I doubt it was the typeS) Anyways it was the TL in the left lane, me in the middle, and there was a civic HB in the right. I didnt know if we were going to run it so I just sat there and I noticed that the TL guy turned off his radio so I guess it was a go. As soon as I looked up the light turned green and both of them took off pretty fast but not launching really hard. I was about a car behind them by the time I floored it and as soon as I did, they both hammered the gas. I was creeping up on them and by the time it was 60 mph I was even with them and I took about a car length from the TL by 80 when I let off. I dont know what happened to the civic but he was hanging on somewhere back there. no ricer fly-bys this time which was cool and I noticed when the TL guy was next to me he gave me a WTF look as he saw me pass him
