TSX guy out of his mind

Drove down to SD christmas eve, and on the way down on 5 south, this guy in a TSX cuts in front of me and starts flashing his emergency lights. I think he thought I was taunting him when I briefly downshifted into 5th to go around 1 car while he was next to me in the carpool. (Either that, or he just felt his rebadged Accord is quick enough.) You guys should know the car doesn't really accelerate that much when you downshift into 5th, especially when I barely gased it.

I really wasn't feeling like giving some idiot in a TSX the gratification, so I just switched laned, but he repeatedly cuts me off as I switched to the outter lanes. Finally I was able to go around him as he got stuck behind traffic, but he weaved his way out of it and came after me pretty fast. He came right up behind me and switched next to me to zoom past me. After my experience with a Lotus, I had a feel for how much jump our cars have. Right when he gets next to me, I pulled it into 4th, left him sitting behind until I was at about 130 and slowed back down to 80. The guy eventually caught up, but stayed a good 10 car lenghths behind me all the way from Aliso Viejo down to where I exited at Oceanside.

What a waste of gas...

Yeah for some reason it's rated like 4th for the 2004s, even though it just had the oem lip kit and oem optional wheels.

I'm pretty sure yours was one of the first few to be posted on Cardomain, + tonnes of nice shots of the car = the high rating... and if memory serves me right, I think there were few shots of you in the pictures as well, pretty girl + hot ride = :rocks:
