I was giving my daughter a ride to work yesterday morning, when I noticed a new Malibu hounding my rear. It was right on my ass as I turned north-bound onto Arcade and dove into the left lane as soon as it was clear. I got to the light at Frost and the Malibu pulled up slightly behind me in the next lane. I threw a glance over my shoulder, but the sun was wrong and I couldn't see ****. 
I checked the cross traffic light - it was cycling through yellow - and the 'Bu was creeping up. The light turns green and we're off!
I cleared the intersection first, even though the Chev was creeping up.
I up-shifted to second at about 4500 rpm while the Malibu lost ground. I jacked it into 3rd way too soon and the bowtie is on my rear quarter.
I down shifted back to 2nd and stomped on it!
The R/T responded beautifully and I waited until just before redline to hit 3rd this time. Smoked 'em!!
I got stopped by a red light on County Road B and the Malibu pulls up next to me, again slightly behind. I glance over - as if to say "Ya wanna go again?" - and it's a good looking brunette! Ya gotta love it.
When the light turned green she meekly fell in behind me and turned off on Hwy 36.
...And my dautghter thought the whole thing was a hoot!
This is my daughter...
