Thumbs up fun victories!!

Not a big deal but it was fun, had a 05 eclipse gt so close I could hardly see him over the tail gate , he came around at about 45 and tried to take off around me in a 4 lane road, well we took off but at 105 mph he was still where he started, well worse than where he started. he was 3 or 4 car lengths behind . anyway it was just fun, and its fun to share. Anyone else got some fun victories?

I did the same thing to a guy on a long stretch of 2 lane highway , every time it was clear , he would try and pass ( we were both already doing the speed limit or a little more) and every time he tried to pass , I wouldn't let him , I did this 4 or 5 times , and then i figured i better let him pass before he breaks out in a fit of road rage. I let him pass , and about 5 miles up the road , the police had him pulled over , for speeding I assume .

I had an incident with a 5.0 stang, and he had a bad night wondering why that big truck that blew smoke all in his open window spanked his hiney....

Careful with the speed, bad things happen when a 7600 pound bullet flies down the road...(not like I'm perfect...)

Funny this thread was brought up...

Tonight on the way home from watching my buddies race at QualComm Stadium, I was passing around this fella driving REAL slow on the interstate...just driving normal, not hot roddin or anything, he was just SLOW. This dude in a newer Duracrap came FLYING over from the other lane, cut me off and had I not hit the brakes, would have clipped the front of my truck...so I turned up the boxes and FLEW around him and blew a cumulus cloud into his half opened window...then I slowed back down to the speed limit, he got back up next to me, motioned to race and I proceded to eat his dinner for him, while feeding him some more of my smoke...

My truck's bigger than your truck, my truck is bigger than yours...

That's with 2 full tool boxes and probably a full tank. Got the weight slip to prove it...

I believe ya, they are heavy trucks. like I said my 2500 was almost 6500 lbs, So i guess my truck is close to yours. Well I may have a 7200 lb bullet, either way its dangerous

I am not sure if its the kind of victory your talking about but I was in southern Alabama just got my new tires put on and hadnt adjusted the speedo. Well according to my speedo i was going 75 when I passed a state trooper going the other way needless to say my detactor went off and I knew i was busted. went ahead and pulled over and waited for the cop. He pulled in behind me and did the usual reg,lic, and insur. came back like three minutes later and gave me a warning for 84 in a 65! told me to slow it down and nice truck! Got to love the south
