This couldn't have been scripted any better...

Well, it couldn't have been scripted any better.

This weekend I was moving from my house in LI to Putnam County, NY. During my trip up there to meet the movers, I had my Mighty Titan (it's official name) loaded with my 400 cc dirtbike as well as nearly every tool in my garage; power tools, bench tools, 12" compound miter saw, as well as a ton of other stuff...it was fully packed to the bedrails.

So I'm on the Cross Island Parkway, headed North to the Throgsneck Bridge, when I see in the rearview, a new-style Ford F-150 weaving in and out of traffic behind me. He is travelling WAY faster than me because I was just putting along, knowing my dirtbike was strapped in. Well, as traffic would have it, after he passes me...my lane ends up bringing me past him anyway as we both enter onto the Throgsneck Bridge.

Since I was ahead of him on the bridge itself, I AGAIN, see him weaving in and out of traffic, changing lanes, so that he can -- I guess -- beat me over the bridge...who knows what this retard was thinking....

Well, anyway, we get to the tollbooths and we are LITERALLY side by side with me going in one tollbooth lane and him in the other...As I'm about 100 feet in front of the swinging arm, I realize....we are BOTH going to be stopped at our tollbooths at EXACTLY THE SAME TIME...as such, the arms will raise at the same time (being that we're both paying by EZPass)...sure enough...we both come to a halt, side by side, with him to my right and both arms raising at just the same time...it was like horses off to the races!!!! This would have made an AMAZING commercial for Nissan, I swear to ya.

We both HAMMER it....and I blow by him....with my truck filled with crap in the back, including a dirtbike...like he's standing still. INSTANTLY....by 70, I've easily got 2 trucklengths on him, and by 85, it's not even close. As I passed him, I look over and he's just staring through my open window as I shake my head with a "how pathetic" look on my face...

...I backed off at around 85ish, to get over to the right (in front of him) to head North on 95...he THEN decides to fly past me on the left. I just love that....why not punch it past once you've already gotten the doors blown off.

Anyway, thought you'd enjoy this pretty cool kill story...I swear to ya, this is exaclty how it unfolded. I wish I had it on video.

Because at Ford, quality is job 1...whatever the hell that means.

It's too bad Fords are so gutless. They are good looking trucks.

Nice Kill, it would have sucked to have lost your dirt bike.
My best friend lost his 4wheeler out of his Chevy doing that on the freeway. Thanks god it was late and nobody was hurt except the poor 4 wheeler.

You know what would be even funnier? If you had all that stuff in your bed plus towing a car trailer with a new F-150 on it and still spanked him like that.

With all the weight you had in the Titan, I bet the F-150 you raced had the 4.6L making it even more of a gutless wonder with that heavy a$$ frame.
