Goodbye Civic!
I just realized that I never shared my story...
A few days after I picked the Titan up, my buddy Adam calls me up and says "Let's head to Hooters for lunch, let me check that Titan out."
Lunch went well, a good time was had, and much truck envy ensued...
Then on the drive back to the office I'm stopped at a light and notice this little ole early 90's hatchback civic with several different colors of body panels (that makes them FAST!), and a pipe big enough to double as a 50 gallon drum (so I can hear him coming from the other side of town).
When the light changed, he was off. I wasn't really planning to go, but I figured "What the heck, why not?" and put the pedal down to the floor. We went about .5 mile or so. He was right on my bumper. Then I hear him shift into 4th. Uh oh, he started falling behind....by a few car lengths. He made the obvious choice of down shifting back into third. He briefly catches up, but then I hear a loud popping noise from his direction, and all the sudden he's gone. Through the rearview I watched him slowly drift to a stop in the middle of the road, something quite obviously wrong.
Sorry Mr. Beat Up Civic Driving Man, You just got owned by a 4x4 Titan. May that repair bill be your lesson to stick to minivans and grocery getters.
-Steve
