SoCal riceboys

[robparsons@juno.com (Robert A Parsons)]

2 stooopid slammed, stickerladen, coffee-can draggin Integras wanted to
play with my vr6 this weekend.  I was near UCSanDiego at 11pm and a 1/4
mile ahead of me the sides of the road were lit up with bouncin' blue
light.    As a concerned citizen I went to investigate and, sure enough,
the above-mentioned perpetrators were cruzin at 35 in a 45 zone with only
10ft separating their cars.  Well, as you might imagine, I just couldn't
in good conscious let these fellows off the hook.  I crept up next to
them, saw two heads barely clearing the door sills, and then rocketed off
into the night.  I slowed down and in my rearview watched them break
formation and start the hunt.  I let them catch up (otherwise this would
be no fun :) and at the next light one was to my right reving away his
lawnmower and the other was on my ass - rendering my normally biber-beige
interior a cheap blue.  200' ahead of us on the left was a 101s onramp
that all of us were taking and when the light turned green I eased off
the line and watched as the guy next to me sped away and then jerked hard
into my lane (I fully expected him to lose control but as it was he just
slid to the left a little as he tried to right himself).  When we reached
the onramp riceboy#1 was about 3 car-lengths
ahead with riceboy#2 still dousing neon.   The onramp is a sharp ~120 deg
left that is much smoother from the other direction and it's a 3 lane
uphill grade for 1/4mile before the freeway - I was in 2nd at 4000, ready
to punch it as soon as I had traction, and I sweeped thru the turn with
the left tires going over a rounded 1" curb like the nascar dudes
skipping over road course curbs.  I nailed the throttle, hit the mute
button on my stereo, listened to much better music and reeled in
riceboy#1 as #2 became a non-factor.  Powershift at 5800 and pulled away
from #1at a rewarding constant rate.  Merging into traffic I coasted down
from 90 to non-ticket freeway speeds and watched  #1come from at least 3
lengths back to right on my butt.  That's how we were for 2 miles - sore
losers  these SoCal riceboys!
