Beat a Duramax

The other night I was just cruising down a 4 lane highway/street (not really sure which since its osted speeds are highway speeds but it has stop lights all along it. All the sudden the vehicle next to me that I was not paying attention to cause I was messing with my XM lets out an exhaust blast letting me know that they meant business and takes off. I turn and look and it is the newest body styled Chevy with a Duramax. As I floor it to catch up I can see it has banks exhaust, as I am pulling next to it and in front of it... I see on the A pillar that he has all the gauges and on his fender is a Banks Power System decal. Just as I am able to show the power of the Cummins... We come upon one of those stoplights... so we both have to calm it down. Light turns green and off we both go. Through the intersection he holds up next to me cause I was having to role through the gears and he had an auto. But within a few feet of going through the intersection I broke way from him. I go about my merry way ahead of him down the rode. Again, another stoplight. This time I improved on my gear shifting and beat him through the intersection and broke away from him after that. A couple miles down the rode at another stop light,,, he pulls next to me again. He looks over at me like he is trying to stare a hole right through my skull. Light turns and off we are again, and again I am beating him... After that I come to my street and head home. I thought that it was funny how he willing stepped up to the plate three times in a row and never won.
