I was driving home last night when a black Ford Focus ST (SVT team) screamed up behind me and the other Focus holding me up. I gave him the thumbs up to let him know I see him. we followed the slow car for awhile then it turned off leaving just the two of us.
I had already turned of VDC and could accelerate to the speed limit up hill sooner than he. I thought it cheap to do to a four cylinder so I slowed and waited at the top of the hill. This was the routine all the way home. I'd get ahead and then wait for him. This was all done at or under the 55 MPH limit.
In the end he was my neighbor that I'd seen with a hot Focus so we chatted outside my garage. I've actually known this guy since I was ten years old, only I did not realize it until a minute later when he envoked my name and talked about his mom. He had put on a lot of weight and turned gray.
The first words out of his mouth were "Does that thing have a six?" Amusingly he stated he had 300 HP and he figured I had 450 HP. Not quite.
All in a days drive.
