mustang shot down!
« on: July 16, 2002 - 07:45:12 AM »
A boring evening turned into a pretty good one Friday night. I was at my friends house when we went for a drive to the store. On the way home, we took the long way. It was an amazing night. Still about 85* at 10pm. I was at a red light going straight when a 71 Mustang (I am pretty sure it was a 71, the mach 1 style) turned onto the same street. Cool, my light just turned green. I sped up to catch him. He turned wide to go into the other lane and I turned in. We got up the next light. I gave him the thumbs up, until his 2 kids popped their heads out. I was kinda hesitant because of the wife and his kids. I don't mind the race when it is just myself and the other driver. I just don't want to be responsible for someone else. But....... I made an eception this time. He wanted to but I said not here. Well, as soon as the light turned green, he floored it. I thought, that bastard. So, I gave it some stink. He was only about 1.5 car lenghts ahead before I started. I caught up no problem and managed to pass him and get infront because the one lane ended. We get up the next light and what do ya know, it is right in front of a Mopar dealer. I look in my rear view and all I see is a cloud of smoke. Again, that bastard :( So I let her rip. I look over at my friend and all I see is a smile from ear to ear. I must have sat there for about 35- 40 seconds. Not only did I do a better bunout, just for taking off on me, he's the one that will have to clean all of my tire bits off of his windsheild ;)

Man was that fun. He even gave the thumbs up. I guess he was just wanting to have fun with the family. It made my entire weekend. Well, until I went over to my parents for dinner and told them. My dad just laughed, my mom gave me the lecture. Oh well, I can't say that I won't do it again ;D
WoooHooooo!!

that sounded like allot of fun. the only time I get mustangs to race is when its bumper to bumper traffic and they think they are real fast catching up with the car in front of them. funny they never try it when its an open road.
