It's 1:00am and me and a few friends are heading home after a rather enjoyable;) Saturday night.
Some guy is riding my ass like a cell mate who's in for life. I have no clue as to why either: I am already going 10 over the speedlimit and why would an old ghetto looking car want to get all racey over a completely stock looking BMW?
So I give it some gas:az: what the heck.
I guess that was I sign that I think I'm faster than he is and I think his car sucks and I want to race him and I'm a punk....or something like that cause next thing I know this guy is coming up fast in my driver side mirror in the median!
What's this crazy mofo doing? So I downshift to second (I can't risk this guy thinking he's faster without at least putting up a fight. my PRIDE is at stake here). Whoa:az: . Say bye bye to the mustang looking thing. That was kind of pathetic. Oh well he asked for it.
...Later that night....
I was on my way home after dropping off the pals and came to a stoplight where an old looking firebird and a new yellow cougar V6 were calling each other on. [Let's see how fast they are].
Red light!..... Green light!
Not bad. Well compared to your average hyundai I guess. They weren't fast but they were faster than Joe Blow's car.
Just as I put it into second the Cougar moves to the outside lane to let me go ahead [nice guy, someone's paying attention] the firebird is still going full on and since I now have open space ahead, is disappearing behind me.
Well thats it. Both were beat. The end?
No.
Next stop light. The Firebird wants a rematch I guess. He's revving the 'ol engine. Ok then I'm up for it.
Green light.
I'll let him take the launch to give him a head start. So I let out smooth before I hit GO. He gets 1 car then stops gaining. As soon as I reach 4000 in first he's finished.
6700, shift. 6500, shift. Third gear I check the mirror. He is roughly 4-5 cars back. I slow down thinking it's over and keep watching him in my rearview. He is still going! Coming up fast! I guess I'll hit it. @ 80 in third gear he is now 6-7 cars back. Too fast for me on this street so I slow down and touch the brakes a bit.
I notice there is a car in his lane and, thinking how fast he is coming up, I can bet he is going to try and get around me before he reaches the car. NO WAY he can make it. I hit the brakes hard and let him squeeze through before he gets into any real trouble.
He kept up his speed and dissapeared in the distance. I slowed down to normal operating velocities and continued forward on my quest for home. Hope he doesn't do that all the time.
CRAZY people out after midnight.
