Had a hemi CC pull beside me and keep inching up to get even. We were on a I-10 east feeder road and the freeway entrance was about 1/4 mile up and he was in the right lane and I was on the left. He was going to have to get around me and get into my lane to get on the freeway. He could have pulled in behind me and gotten on but you could tell he was not that kind of feller. He came off the line like a bat out of hell and only then did I floor it. He was ahead of me by a full truck length but by the time we reached the entrance to the freeway , I was ahead of him by at least one truck length. He had his wife or girl friend in the truck with him and she looked like she was either giving him sh*t about racing or loosing, I don't know which. My wife was in the truck with me and I know I was getting %&$#@%^&^$ from her. When I looked back at him he looked shocked that this rice burner just cleaned his clock. Kinda busted his bubble.
