Another Genesis vs G8 Altercation
It was early last Sunday morning. I had just picked up a friend for church. I was approaching a traffic light that has 3 lanes that reduce to 2 lanes just past the signal. The light was red. There were several cars stopped in the left lane. There was one car stopped in the middle lane and none in the right lane. So I go right. The light turns green just before I get there. I pass everybody stopped at the light, and move to the left as my lane disappears. Perfect timing. Never touched my brakes. I'm 20 cars ahead of everybody and the road is clear for 2 miles in front of me. I accelerate up to 60mph.
I glance in the mirror. The single car that had been in the middle lane at the light is quickly gaining on me. I know what he's up to. Sure enough, he moves to the left lane and keeps coming hard. I want to see how ticked he really is and how bad he wants me. The posted limit is 50mph. I casually increase to 75mph and hold. He's still coming. I let him go by far enough so I can read the label on the back. A Hyundai Genesis. At that point he has to be north of 85mph. I ease a little more pedal and pull alongside. He has to be full on the gas. I hear him downshift. I say not today. I ease more throttle, no down shift. I just smoothly pull away. I let off at 120mph. He's 4-5 cars back. I thought he had enough, but no. He keeps coming!
My speed has bled down to 95mph or so when he catches up to me again. This fool doesn't get it. You cannot pass. This time I floor it and unleash the beast. All kinds of violence erupts. The exhaust screams like a wounded pig. The big sedan downshifts and just leaps forward. I don't know where Genesis went. I glanced down, 142mph. Weren't we just going 95? I glance in the mirror, the Genesis is gone. He must have turned off. My buddy asks, "what kinda warp drive do you have in this car?" I just grin.
