Ghost Ship, 07 Toyota Perhaps

I was getting on 635, a local freeway here in Dallas, just about an hour ago. I'm in the far right lane just fresh onto the freeway, the freeway has about 6 lanes where I got on at Coit going westbound, Well I try and make my way into the fast lanes, and I see a white whatever suv in the next lane I need to move over into. He's prolly going 60 and I'm probably going about 62, I'm probably about five feet ahead of him. I have a pretty good amount of space but we are both closing in on a Semi In both of our lanes. I decide, no problem and goose it a little. So I can get over and hopefully over again into the 5th lane to get around the slow semi's. Well this punk immediately decides he isn't going to let me, he nails it too, I figure I can take this turkey no problem, so I totally punch it.. And damn I couldn't shake him, And the space between us and the semi's was starting to close fast, I was able to squeeze over. Turn signal was on the whole time if you will. I got stuck behind the semi in the 4th lane. He goes around and out into the 5th lane and passes me up. I get around the semi, to try to catch up, but then he starts driving a bit like a dumb azz, so I backoff.

As I watch him disappear into traffic, I notice several things, if your in 5th gear, you have no guts, and this truck was a Toyota (I'm prettysure), (usually no guts) and has tail lights high up on the sides, sorta like a Volvo station wagon or a Land Rover Discovery, It was a large vehicle as big as the Titan and it was brand freaking new, it had no license plates, but some kind of tag pasted in on the rear window. I'm pretty sure it wasn't anything domestic.. I wish I got a better look at what it was, I'm usually pretty car savvy, but didn't recognize it. I jumped on Toyota's website to see if there is a new Sequoia, but nothing matched up there either.
