Not quite a racing story

I was driving home tonight after hanging out with a friend and I was going down the road I live on. The speed limit is 35 and I was going about 40. This guy was tailgating me the entire way. The first 1-2 miles of the road have cops all the time but never passed that. There is a side road they always turn off on. Anyway I went about 1/2 a mile further and I decided once I got to this one spot where the road goes downhill and into curves that I was gonna shift into 2nd and try to lose this guy. So when we reach the top of the hill I shift to 2nd and floor it. At about 6300 RPMs I try to shift but my crapy *** shifting skills fail me and I can't find 3rd. Now about 1/3 the way down the hill there is an intersection so the road becomes level and then goes back downhill. Right as I hit this I find 3rd and floor it. When I was coming off the flat intersection I feel the wheels start to spin. If I would have been going 15-20mph faster I would have caught some air. They guy was definitly trying to keep up because he stayed right behind me most of the way. Once I got to the bottom of the hill and shifted to 4th and after that I was slowly losing him because the road went uphill and to the left and then had about 4 curves before my house. By the time I got to my house the guy was way back there. I turned into my driveway and turned off the lights and watched the guy fly by.

I don't know if you would call it a race but I like messing with tailgaters. If I am in a place where there are cops I do the opposite and drive 15mph under the speed limit. And if they are really damn annoying I will hit the brakes to scare the **** out of em.

Exclamation

Well i sure hope this guy wasnt trying to find out where you live so he could tamper or steal something off of your car. Next time pull into someone elses driveway to lose him. Its probably nothing, just some reject trying to pull a fast and furious stunt. What kind of car was it? Was it like just a normal car or did it have mods of and kind, or riced out at all? Just stay on the look out cause you never know what can happen.

I didn't see the car as it was behind me the entire time and when it went by my house it was going pretty fast.

I think it was just some guy tailgating because he thought I was going too slow. And I didn't see me pull into my driveway. I parked close to my house so he wouldn't be able to see me unless he was looking directly down my driveway. And I used my parking brake to stop so there would be no lights.

messing with tailgaters is one of my favorite past times. My favorite thing to do is drop down 15-20 miles below the limit. Keep in mind if someone is in my way I will ride there *** hard. Karma a bitch.

That reminds me of when I first started driving and my mom had a dodge spirit. Anyway the washers were on the wiper and the hose broke so whenever I would push the button it would squirt directly left. I went around squirting people for about a week. Then she fixed it and all my fun was gone.
