Crap! Late, and the professor locks the door at 8:00! Run, run! *tries to remind himself it's not good to run the car fast when it's still cold* Nouuu don't tell me the thermostat is broken :mad: ...grrr..there go the plans for the suspension, gotta do that first. *light turns green* 2nd....3rd...stop grr why can't this go....what the.....nonono wrong day for this you do NOT want to try me today little civic. Oh...ok reving your engine sounds great... :rolleyes: Fine, I have to go fast anyway. 3,500 rpms, whoa that's high...wait...turn asc of....*light turns green* :eek:
SO there we were, I was even for just a second until the asc got a grip on itself and then I was off, two car lengths in front, by the time I realized what happened, I was going 80 on Nobel Dr....with a 90 degree turn onto the onramp in about a 1/4 mile. The little white civic, props to him, was actually keeping up with me...somewhat....a few cl's behind, but still not bad for a 1.8l four cylinder with what looked like stock.
Then it happened, I of course turned the asc off as soon as possible, I came up to the turn and thisominous feeling crept over me....am i going too fast.... I looked down 4,500 rpms....but wait! Third or fourth!?! :eek: Third or fourth!?! :eek: Fourth! Noouuu, overcompensate, tires screeching, wheels break free, skid for 20 meters, at 45 degrees with the road, argh, slight shaky, recover...phew...that was ugly :D No...wait...is that....that damned civic is still there! Straight highway with some traffic, time to see how fast I can go those 6 miles to my offramp....
All in all, it was fun, I hit 120 because that civic just wouldn't stop buggin my rearview mirror. Turns out, he and I go to the same college, he gave me a big thumbs up when we parted, pretty cool. In summary, it took me 11 minutes to get to school instead of the usual 25 :evil2 , I got away alive, barely, but alive :D and I was on time to my class with 2 minutes to spare :cool: *sets his clock for 15min earlier than usual*

Did you write that while you were driving or something? :confused:

Good going! I had a few drives like that in college --just not in as quality a car :)

Cool story, just lay off the coffee.

haha nice write up... i agree lay off on the coffee.

....I tried to write first person to see what it would be like, I thought it would be cool, but I guess it's not being received well :embarrasm So the next one will be in third person again.

Coffee...hah, I don't drink coffee....Iced Chai! :D

I liked it :dunno

I think people were just messing with you :)

so you were on Nobel and you were heading towards your school and it takes a usual 20 mins about...do you go to Mesa College... because from Nobel Dr. you don't need to take the freeway to get to UCSD...

I used to live around Mesa and attended UCSD...kinda backwards...

lol, I live at Nobel Court, which is right across the Hyatt Regency in La Jolla, if I went to UCSD, I would take La Jolla Village drive for two lights....yes I go to Mesa....talk about a modded car parking lot.

1, 2, 3, 4.....9! 9 Smilies! A little bit of over kill on the smilies ya think? :)

Noooouuuuu I love my smilies!!!! :devillook :devillook :devillook
Smilies :buttrock



Maybe I need some :help

Awesome write-up! I love the first person perspective on it. ;)

And there's nothing wrong with smilies :D

I used to live in La Regencia, and then later moved to Costa Verde, and then moved to a house near Mesa...

nice. i honostly liked the write-up after I figured out what was going on in the first few sentences

Coffee...hah, I don't drink coffee....Iced Chai! :D

I thought it was a good writeup. It was as if I was thrown into your shoes.

Ah yes, wonderful san diego. Heh i live in RB, and usually take camino del norte home, man i love goin 130mph on that street, usually piggies around but there is a nice stretch, sorta curves, but no lights, no lighting, and at night its a dream.

I was actually commin home on the 125/52/805 last night at around 2, and unlike in LA, there was NO ONE...I had a 30mile drive and I saw not a single car. I hit 135 for fun, and then decided that it was just a bit too creepy :stickoutt But yea, San Diego is great, and La Jolla is right in the middle of it all...my favorite spot to drive though is on a Thursday mid morning at Palomar mountain. Just you and maybe two other motorcycles, up and down the fast side of the mountain....my bmw considers it home.... :D

BTW, thanks for the support on the first person, for a second I thought absolutely no one enjoyed it...
