It's the evening and I just picked up my buddy to head out to one of the casinos(Green Valley Ranch) for thier jazz night at their pool area. We are cruising down one of the avenues(Cheyenne) in order to get on to the interstate. I'm in the right lane and a toyota tacoma is in the left. It's a single guy and he's driving rather briskly but I'm not really thinking anything of it while I'm shootin' the breeze with my bud.

At the first intersection. I notice he does show a little aggression in his acceleration. I mention to my co-pilot that I think he wants to play. The next light turns red and I shift to 3 while I coast in. I'm still not convinced so I am still just shootin' the breeze. I didn't even turn the a/c off. The light turns and I accelerate just a little aggressively. So does the Tacoma. I can tell it's a manual, and hear him gun it. I gun it and it drops to first and it redlines. I hear the whir of the CAI which I love. I hear his tires chirp into second and that's about the time it was ended. I had a about a quarter CL on him then and just pulled until 60 mph. By then I had enough on him tho see him fully in my rear view mirror. 3 CLs.

I joke/explain about putting on my hazzards to my buddy while the truck signals and pulls in to my lane behind me. That blows. I can't even give him a thumbs up? The next light goes red and this guy is behind me while no one else is around. "Weak" I think and say. Oh well. I merge onto the interestate thereafter and this guy guns it around a mac truck wrecklessly after he sees me merge behind it. "Whateva" say's my bud. "It's too late," I reply.

What was he thinking? Unless he had the TRD supercharger, there's no way he'd beat you. I'm surpsied he even chirped his tires. I have a manual 4Runner with the V6 and a modded airbox, and it is NOT a stop light contender...

I just don't get the truck drivers trying to race cars. Unless you have a lightning, don't.....
