Strap yourselves in, kiddies, for a tale as old as time.* A classic tale of the little guy versus the behemoth. David and my Goliath. A Ford Fiesta versus a Raptor. A tale as told mere moments ago:
Me : I was driving down the freeway heading towards my parents’ house and there was a small cluster of slower traffic in the two left most lanes (three lanes total).
So I swing out to the far right lane to pass ‘em all, cuz I’m a rebel, Dottie, I’m a loner (I know that’s backwards. Props to whoever knows the reference).
Anyway, there’s this big ass ginormous Ford truck that was behind the slowpoke in the left lane. Guess when he saw me pass he realized he didn’t need to be stuck, either.
So I’m cruising along, passing traffic while munching on French fries and jamming out to mah music and all of a sudden, I look down and see that I’m going an even 100 mph. And I’m like... WHOOPSIE!
So I lay off the gas, get back in the left lane and continue on at a more modest 85, Put a couple of miles between me and the pocket o’ traffic.
Couple miles later, Ford truck starts looming in my rear view. I see this huge oversized FERD logo on the grill. And I’m like, Oh!! It’s a Raptor! Bet Rider’d love it!
He slowly catches up. I’m a dick and punch it back to 95 to make ‘im work for it first. He finally passes me and I see that...
IT’S NOT A FUCKING RAPTOR!
It’s a wannabe with a Raptor grill and 4x4 badges.
So I pass him again when we hit another knot of traffic and my smaller, more agile car can get through the breaks where he can’t. Left him in the dust.
The end.
MtrRider : You were street racing a bro truck in a Fiesta. Only in Texas.
*This tale, like all Texas tall tales, may have been embellished in some parts.

I own a Fiesta sedan, but that was the only image of A Fiesta and a Raptor when I googled an image for this post.

Oh Texas. I swear every time I went to test & tune days at Royal Purple 90% of the vehicles there were trucks.

STs have been diluted down in Europe.
You can get Fiesta (3 and 5 door) and Focus STs,
Ford Fiesta (3 and 5 door), Focus (5 door and estate), Kuga and Mondeo (5 door and estate) ‘ST-Line’.

Funny how you mention “and my smaller, more agile car can get through the breaks where he can’t”.
Since I have found that most times people with giant tank vehicles will cram through way smaller openings than I am willing to go through with my Miata. It is just like the larger and less capable the vehicle, the more reckless abandon they will have. This is doubly true in the rain where I am often times the slowest vehicle out on the road because I dont want to end up in a ditch.

Sounds like Texas to me, speed limit 75, most everyone doing 70.

The way you set it up, I was concerned there was to be a tragic meeting between the two. Glad you’re safe.
