I havent posted in a while so i thought i would post up this up for a laugh.
I was coming from an Air Show that was in San Diego tonight, and once i got off the freeway coming home i see a yellow porsche carrera cabriolet cruising... Looked to be an older model, identical to the one below
I catch up to him with a stupid grin on my face and immediately i see him look at me and quickly downshift (manual), and so did i into 1st. Both of us were rolling at 50.
Once he downshifted he jumped on me, with me instantly stopping his pull and proceeding on putting an easy couple of busses on him by the end of my second gear.
So i shut down back to the speed limit and he flew by and gave me a nod and literally made a sharp right turn fishtailing :lol:
Well, thats the end of that little run.
I looked that car up and everything appears to check out:
