Like I said earlier, not all my stories are Infiniti-related. But still worth recalling!
In 1982 or so, a friend and I were heading home from a party at about 1 or 2am. Heading East on Route 128, north of Boston, Massachusetts, towards I-93 North. Friend is in 1982(?) Nissan 280Z, me in my 1980 Mazda RX-7. Speed limit is 55mph - we are both doing about 75mph - I am about half a mile (or so) ahead of him. Hardly any traffic at all.
All of a sudden, my friend comes tearing by me at high speed - with an idiot in a Mustang closely tail-gating him.
Before I can really react, they are past the next curve. I get worried and speed up. Now I am doing 120mph trying to catch up. Four or five miles later, I take the 128E to 93N off-ramp at about 75mph - no sign of either car yet. I slow down, go by friend's house and see his car parked outside, so I go on home.
Next morning, I find out that my friend lost the idiot on that same off-ramp by sliding around it at close to 90mph!
The Mustang tried but did not make it at that speed - that was enough to let my friend get way ahead, and stay ahead, fortunately!
