I'm taking my girlfriend home for the evening, its roughly 12:20am, we're on I 30 in Texas, cruising in the fast lane going the speed of the car infront of us (which was 70mph)... My girlfriend and i are in deep conversation, when all of a sudden we hear an exhaust that sounds like dog _____ (insert your word)! This is the nastiest exhaust i've heard in forever.. we look over to see what ricer is making all this racket, and its an ugly ____ Focus,
with a wing on the top of it too! To make matters worse the exhaust appears to be stock looking from the back end. I can only assume this was the SVT Focus. As my girl and i cruise by we both Mad Dog the drivers of this thing; who appear to be in some sort of rush. Our tint was too dark to see cause they had slightly tinted windows also, but it was a white guy driving with a passenger, two average size people. (anyone got the est. weight of the focus?)
Well, my girl and i laugh at it and talk about how bad it sounds then carry on with a big conversation we had been having, not paying too much attention to anything, and just cruising. All of a Sudden in my mirror i see the focus Whip Behind Me, cutting the car behind me, maybe 3 car lengths back, Off. Plus the guy is riding my tail,and i'm steaming getting mad, but still in my big conversation.. so i opt to slow down to 60 mph, as the car who was infront of me moves out of the fast lane. This guy behind me just doesn't get it and couldn't get much closer to my rear bumper.
Now i'm wishing i was alone in my car, because at this point, i would have stood on the breaks to slow to 20!
How ever i am in mid sentence getting all in touch with my feelings and stuff with my girl, and then.... the FUCus gets into the right lane fast and hammers the gas and cutts me off, real nasty; Just as i am saying "...i had a really nice day with you too." In a split second i hammer the gas, jump in the right lane and try to catch the focus who is by now at least doing 90... as i hit 100, my bumper is passing the passenger door of the focus, and i am getting kinda scared, thinking to myself "I didn't know that POS Focus could go that fast!"
I see the updrive light scream at me, but i have to ignore it, there is no slowing down now if i want to beat him... and an 18-wheeler is coming up fast in my lane!
As i pass 120, i quickly look in my sideview, and cut the focus off probally by 1 foot. As i cruise by the 18-wheeler, a cops radar comes up on my detector, and my exit is coming up fast, so i slow to 70 and get in the far right hand lane... As the focus approaches it switches to the center lane and swerves at me as he flys by doing 90. I exit and my freaked out but kind of excite girlfriend is looking at me like, woah!
My girlfriend and I are in the car as well as my two 10s in a big box that fits firmly in the trunk, as well as my girl's bookbag containing her college books, and a bag full of her clothes (we are about to go on vacation tommorrow morning, and she packs like we are going away for a month). To get technical i also had a bunch of beer bottles in the car left behind after a night in Shreveport (3 hour drive each way in the SC). So i'm sure my SC out weighs the Fucus by alot.
I was still however shocked at how fast that thing cut me off.. how fast do those POS cars run a 1/4 in?
Should i be proud of this kill? personally i'm kinda depressed now.
