Well, it's nothin too special...
but I was on my way home today.. driving through medium traffic. I pull up to a stop light, and look in my side mirror to see a black 2005-ish Mitsubishi Eclipse GT V6 all kitted out with black spray-painted hubcaps (?) in the lane to the left of me a couple of cars back. I kinda laughed cause it was so dumb lookin.
So I take off when the light turned green, but didnt go into VTEC.... figued I'd save that :P
he pulled behind me, and then got next to me in the left lane again... where we both lined up at anothe stop light. Now I'm excited
Problem is... theres a trolly track crossing the road we were about to cross, and I usually do no more than 10mph over the tracks... but dude didn't know that.
So he takes off spinning his tires... his dual exhaust were spittin some smoke, so I knew he was redlineing it, or at least comin close... once I got over the tracks, I nailed VTEC in first, then maintained it through second and third flying past him as if he was literally standing still. I could tell he was still pushing it though, cause his exhaust was louder than mine, and it was whining pretty bad
So we got up to another stop light, with no tracks this time, and I showed him whats up from the start.
Either the dude REALLY could NOT drive... or the Eclipse really is a very slow car.
I eased on it from then on as to not get in an accident in the semi-heavy traffic... but he persisted and kept doing those oh-so-cool "ricer fly-bys" again and again.
I gave him a little taste more before we parted ways, and that was that.
Too much fun.

The ricers are the best! They just want more and more... Here you are with 2 less cylinders, and you're walking on him. That must've made him feel great! 
Oil leak?What oil leak? That's just sweat from all that horsepower!
