Almost forgot about the little incident that happened on the way home from the track. Me and 62Nalide were traveling North on 45 just outside of Ennis cruising at a safe 65mph, and a stock looking Mustang pulls into the other lane and comes up beside me. I paid him no attention and maintained my speed. He stayed beside me for about 10 secs then he passed me and got in my lane. He stayed like that for about 1 mile then he got over in the right lane and proceeded to slow down. I slowed down a little just to avoid the inevitable. Finally I knew it was gonna happen so I sped up to speed limit and caught up to him. As soon as I got beside him, he sped up to my speed. He started popping his throttle. We stayed even for about 10 secs then we both hit it! After putting about 3 lengths on him real quick, I saw an 18 wheeler up in front so I got on my brakes hard. Also didnt want a ticket going 100+!
With his feelings hurt and his gf in his passenger side, He pulled up beside me again to give me the thumbs up then exited in defeat!
I don't know why I get that all the time. Another Stang bites the dust!

It's a Rhino modified intake. Not actually ported.

I let Him borrow mine now and again for a spin, but only if he promises not to abuse it like I do.
