I had an entertaining encounter this morning with an 04/05 Maxima (don't know the car well enough to call the model year for sure)......
I am driving down the interstate this morning running about 5 over at 75mph and some import silverstars run up fast to within a car length of my bumper. Drive along another mile or so without changing speed, and the driver is now riding my bumper VERY tight (I can no longer see his headlights). So without even dropping out of sixth, I ease into the throttle and run it up to about 85 and signal left as I chage lanes to pass slower traffic in the right lane. He catches up fairly quickly and matches my speed, again riding my bumper (which is really starting to piss me off). I decide to ease off slightly to about 75 and navigate the upcoming traffic in a safe and responsible manner. All the while I am hoping things "clear up" before my exit so that I can demonstrate some American V8 power for this clown.
Well I eventually get my wish and end up with about a 1/4 mile of completely open road with nothing in the left lane for about 1/2 mile. Knowing I did not "need it all" I dropped back into fourth at about 75mph and nailed it. Well he was ready and nailed his too. In my quick run up to 130mph, I put at least 10-12 lengths on him (heck maybe more, it's hard to tell when they are so far back) and pulling bad. I tapped my brakes, let of the gas, and signaled right. I move over to the right lane and am coasting down as he comes by in a full throttle ricer fly-by. I estimate he is running 135-140mph and he almost eats a car in the left lane and has to get on his brakes hard and cut into the other lane, dangerously weaving in and out past several other cars.
I bet he felt he somehow "won" since he passes me LOL
