So I was on my way back from MD this morn and in my rear view this Tib comes up fast. the Tib slows and flashes me and off we go, doing the speed limit of course. tongue.gif We were doing a nice little game of tag all playful and stuff... when the wife wakes up from all the pressure that has built up (from going the speed limit) and drillsergeant.gif reminds me that I was not alone and that I should remember that we had a baby in the car. sad.gif owned.gif

There went my little playmate off into the night. 02.gif I was just wondering if it was anyone from here on the site. It was fun while it lasted. zoom zoom

Hehe, that's how it is in Jersey.

In my experience with other Tibs, they usually try to avoid me. tongue.gif We'll be in a two lane road at a light and a Tib will not pull up to the line to avoid me seeing them.

They must think I am trying to streetrace them or something!

They've got Tiburon Envy, they don't want anyone to see they've mistreated a tiburon. Civic/Eclipses/etc, they all do the same.

Would you pull up on a hooked up car?

I do belive that it must have had some under hood work. It was pretty quick, for going the speed limit and all (hehehehe) !!! Or it could have been the fact that I was loaded down: 2-adults, 2-kids w/carseats, full cooler & luggage. We were running pretty well (not street racing), the wife said I was going ??? a few times until she made me stop playing with my shark friend.

Thats my Shark Tale on the NJ Trnpke.

***Disclaimer***

All speed limits were observed to the best of our abilities. There was NO street racing as this is not a recommended course of action. It was simply two Sharks passing in the night nana.gif lmao.gif fing02.gif
