PROLOGUE
Got the 968 up again last weekend... it hadn't been run in so long that the battery was totally dead. Miraculously after a few jumps and a few full charge/start cycles, it was holding a charge overnight. Did the other stuff to get a not-moved-for-forever car prepped to roll and been driving it this week.
BOWLING FOR TURKEYBINE
So today I meet up with my cousin and some peeps to kick it since it's the Wed before Thanksgiving and thus basically a Friday. We meet up at my cousins apt in Alexandria then kill some time at a bowling alley near my cousin's apt. The lanes there are weird; for some reason, it's oiled all the way down so the ball doesn't hook so much. So after adjusting to figure out the lane, I got a turkey to kick off the holiday. :) Yay.
FUR
Then we head to this new club, Fur, that my sister recommended. It is pretty tight. The production and atmosphere in there is incredible... as good or better than anything Vegas, Chicago, LA or NYC has to offer. They have a runway in there in have a fashion show during the club night. I recommend the joint.. it is cool. It's kinda in the hood, tho. I never been to South Beach, tho, so can't compare to places there, but I digress.
We meet some shorties there, chat it up and dance it up some. I get a lil nuts and bust out some \\\W3STSIDE house and b-boy shiot, peeps is feelin' it and I'm havin a good time so whatever. The shorties invite us over to kick it after the club, so we bounce out early and head over to their pad somewhere in NW, like at 16th and Florida near Adam's Morgan, I guess. So anyway, we bounce out after kickin' it there and I figure I know my way home so I pull off when I see a McDonalds to get some grub. Then I get lost.
TRAFFIC CAM
I end up back near the club somehow (totally lost at this point) then happen upon the 3rd St 395 tunnel. I have to take a left onto the tunnel, and the left signal is green, but has been for awhile, so I rush for it. It's a bit wet out and kind of bumpy and I'm in a little hot and trailing the brake, so I enter the turn and the rear steps out a little bit. NP, just more throttle; the P-car diff is the bestest ever, but the light has turned yellow at this point and I see a flash go off. I'm like WTF then realize it's the traffic camera going off cuz I'm in there during a yellow. In any case, they probably have a nice picture of the car's doors now.
ROLLIN WID A BENZO
So I get comfortable that I'm on 395, stop paying attention and manage to get onto 295 and get lost again. I end up on Pennsylvania down near Anacostia and am looking for a place to turn around. Then this nice Mercedes pulls up next to me. It's a CLK320. I'm thinking nice. Then he revs it. I'm like WTH, look around, and we go. I launch swifty... no Pro Solo quick, but fairly briskly and have like 5 or 6 cars on him by the end of 2nd where I shut it down. Then the light turns red again. He pulls up and he's got a shorty with him and I see she's yelling at him. Anyway, I don't launch this time, but the dude still wants to go! So I catch up, pass him by 1-2 then run away again. I pull it down to the liimit and he flys by. Then he inexplicably pulls off to the side of the road at the next light. I look over and the girl is going beserk. I feel kinda bad but oh well... now I'm really lost.
INSANE LOCO OR INSANE CRAZY
So anyway, I somehow get onto 4 and end up on the 95 side of the beltway and think, phew I can get home now. So I get on the beltway, set the cruise and pull out the chicken nuggets I got long ago when this whole trip home began. The beltway is 4 lanes wide here and I get in the next-to-left-most lane. So there I am on cruise munching on some nuggets, then I see ahead in my lane is some tail lights approaching quickly. WAY too quickly. I realize that some mofo is STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BELTWAY. I drop the nugget I'm holding. All see is this: Ford Explorer slowing down FAST, I put my Solo2 experience to good use and offset over to the left most lane. I realize it's the car in front of the Explorer, a Neon, stopping and the the Explorer is just going to miss hitting him. The next thing I see IS THE DRIVER'S DOOR OF THE NEON OPENING!!! This crazy fucker is getting out in the middle of the freeway. I offset again into the left shoulder, go by the mess, and, with barbecue sauce now all over my face, I look into the rear view mirror and see a sea of headlights. Looks like dude started a traffic jam, hopefully not a pileup
Anyway, the trip home after that was pretty unevently, but man, whaddahell is up with the drivers around here? LoL. Anyway it's 6 in da mornin' 6 in da mornin' and time to go to sleep.
DC homiez is da craziest...
