Firstly I asked Eric to change my screename from thcakid to gmbh6........he almost got it right :D
Now, for the kill.
Driving home from work...weaving throught traffic and about 2 miles from home a 360 Modena Ragtop pulls up 2 car lanes over. I lose him in traffic but he pulls up behind me at a red light.
That red light is Hawthorne Blvd.
Two cars in front of us.
I rev the engine a bit to let him know I'm not an E55 owner :hihi: .......I'm ready to play.
Light goes green and I ease out and wait for scooby doo and scooby dumb to give us a lane. They do. And we go.
Naturally I'm ahead, so it kind of turns into a boat race. I do however, keep a close eye on him so I can gauge how far ahead I am before he hits full throtle.
He hit it so now I keep my eyes on the road and the upcoming curve. I noticed before I hit the curve that I pulled ahead even more.......then I lose him around the curve.
One caveat: I usually stop the race there. You see I live half way up the hill so I don't like to keep going unless someone is right on my tail......PLUS....and even more important.......IT GETS VERY DANGEROUS AT THAT POINT.........by that time I catch up to other traffice, there's a stop light, cars coming down the hill, etc.......
So in a way it's a race to the light or about 100-120mph.......
....nonetheless.........NEVERFOLLOW :race: :addict:
