Beat and F-250 Today, in a CR-V!!

I was getting onto a highway, coming around the cloverleaf on-ramp, when I noticed a slightly lifted 2-fifty coming up on me. I slowed to about 35, to safely navigate the curve, which cause the truck to slow as well. And as I came to the accleration lane, (no cars around) I noticed he went wide, to the left lane, and I immediately nailed it!

I obviously had a lead since I was in front, but he couldn't close the gap! It stayed the same distance to about 85, then I noticed he was fading, so I took my foot out of the firewall.
He never got in front of me so I couldn't see were gas or disel. But since I didn't hear a diesel, or see any black smoke, I'm thinking it was a gasser.

As I said, he dropped in behind me and got off in two exits. As he left the highway, 'flashed' his fogs at me.

I never race the CR-V, mostly because I like getting OVER 28 mpg's, and it's bascially a commuter car. I think someone at Honda has been talking to Nissan because it's got Drive By Wire and is slow as **** off the line, TM!!
Anyway, it was kinda of fun. Something to break up my 60 mile commute home...

The question isnt wether it was gas or diesel, the question is what are you doing in a CR-V dude?

LOL! Must've been the wifes car. I've got to drive a 2000 honda accord every once in a while.

Anyway - was it an old 250? Some of those had the V10 gas engines and they are SLUGS. I test drove a 2003 a while back because I was curious of the V10 and besides slurping gas like a dog at a gravy concert, it was absolute rubbish.
