so last night im headed home from my hockey game in the RT, with a few of my buddies in tow. it was about 1 am or so, and i was the lead car in our group headed home. behind me was my buddy with thre S2000, then 2 teammates who both drive minivans...yes, dodge minivans...

well, we approach a gas station, and at this point the road is 6 lanes wide, with both middle labes being turning lanes, were in the right lane, and i seee this escort pull out of the pump stall, and directly in front of me..abo 20 feet ahead, and im trave,ing about 45, so i just pulled into the left lane, but a bit bothered by being cut out. the next light turns red, and we stop, side by side. i had my windows up, but my sunroof open, and i can hear them laughing...and i hear one of them say, "im gonna whoop this dudes ***!", and he revs his engine, and it sounded like a stick..so as the cross traffic turns red, i ease up, and needless to say, it wasnt even a race form ym standpoint...i went through the gears very gently, and just stayed right ahead of him, and around 100, i got off it, and he gets along side and flips me off, so i hit it hard, pulled into second, and walked on him, to about 120, and got off it, and by now my friends were out of sight.i slow down,a nd the escort coems flying up along side me, slows a bit, and does the swoop and squat, locking his tires up, and i was ready so i swerved around him...my buddy with the S2000 was close enough to see the S&S,a nd began speeding up to get close..just in case...i went around the turd in the ford, and opened my window to say somethin to him, at about 15 mph, as he was exiting, and the as the driver flips me off, the passenger throws a bottle over the car and mised my car...but i was still pissed...i considered busting a u-ey and going after them, with my buddys assistance..but i walked on him, and my hockey team won..so i went home happy enough...


ford people...[:@]

 

I would have followed him.

 

would it have hit my car, or even been close..i would have...

i dont make many goo decisions, but that probably turned out for the best...especially after my serious run in with the law friday night.but thats a whole seperate story...

like goes on...and i made him look silly...

 

I would have followed him and called the police so they could get them for their BS.[:@]

 

hey there...

just curious...what does "swoop and squat" mean?

Thanks,

"911, what is your emergency"
"yeah...i was racing this guy, and he cut me out and threw a bottle at my car"...


i had witnesses on my behalf, but my luck isnt that good..!

 

Isn't that where they speed to get in front of you then hammer the brakes. Really nice if you can't get slowed down in time.

An Escort. What were they thinking??? If you ever see them again tell them I'll race him with my mountain bike and I'll only use 8 of the gears.

 

yes..they got along side, then cut hard in front of me and locked the brakes...i saw it coming and swerved around them...

they were like wannabe ricers...

 

Trouble just seems to find you... eh? Nice kill... and good decision making on your part letting it go.
