Well, it looks like another issue of underestimation. Last night, I was on my way around Shreveport heading east on I-220 with my cruise set at about 78mph. A few miles before I get to the I-20 merge, I ran up on a red Ford "Mustank" that was doing about 60mph in the fast lane. So, I decided to put my blinker on and get in the slow lane to pass him since it looks like the driver was a bit comfortable cruising at granny speed there.
At that moment, in the middle of the pass, this kid decides to put the pedal to the metal to keep me from overtaking him. A taker? Hell yeah! It looks that way. He just doesn't know that there is a reason why my ride is called the Silver Bullet.
At that time while his foot was stuffed in the engine compartment, I pull up next to him to see what this kid was really thinking. I looked over at him, took an obvious sip from my Big Gulp (Wait a minute. Make that two sips), and grabbed a potato chip out of the bag sitting in middle of the back seat. After about 10 seconds of my curiosity, I decided to give him a taste of those lions (that's right, lions) under the hood. All he heard was a loud ROAR and felt a little of what Hurricane Ike was like. I kind of felt bad for this kid. A moment like this can make someone like this fall into deep depression. Aw well. His headlights looked like two Pac Man pellets in my rear view in just a second or two. The Mrs wakes up after being thrown in the back seat and asks what just happened. I told her that I almost missed my exit so it was okay to go back to sleep now.
After burning this kid, I slow down to let the cruise take back over. A minute later, this kid wisps right by me and gets in front of me like he just did something. Honestly, I had forgotten all about this kid after smoking him a mile earlier. Is it more he wants?
Here we go again. I put my blinker on to merge into the fast lane because my cruise is set, and I was creeping on him again. I was not up for burning this kid again. At that time, this punk decides to jump in the fast lane like he was trying to keep me from passing him. Oh, now that did it. This time, he gets all of the throttle. No more for rationing to this kid.
I did a lane check and whip right by him so fast that I think I took part of that racing stripe with me. Yup, I think that was some of that racing stripe flying around on the expressway behind me. This time, let's see if he can get around me. I think I hurt his feelings, because he got off at the next exit and was gone. Poor Mus-stank.
I have a feeling that the driver will probably put that mustang down, because I think I twisted its ankles. His race days are over with now. I think he was a little embarrassed because his two-door was busted wide open by a station wagon. I am sure he will forever respect the Mag after last night.
Kill or be killed.

When you see me, it is already too late.
