Default damn, damn, damn

Holy crap, my ride to work today would have been great if I could risk running on the streets. I have a restricted license, and am only allowed to drive to work and home. So playing around on the street is a rare occasion for now, because I dont want to go to the clink. Anyway, I was coming to work today and saw two bad *** cars. I was cruising at about 63 in a 55 and I see these euro'ish lights coming up quick. I didnt think anything of it until the guy gets next to me. It was a new Prosche GT3... My god, what a beautiful car. Right after he passes me, I notice another set of euro lights coming. I could tell they were from a bmw but figured it would be a 318 or something like that. Nope, it was an M5. Both of these were within 3 minutes of eachother. If only I had my bottle turned on, and a guarantee of no cops. Both drivers looked like they wouldnt have bit if I tossed a rev, so I am kinda glad I didnt do anything. Plus it was dusk and the deer are movin' around quite heavily now due to the rut.

I know it wasnt a race but damn, I saw my first gt3 and m5, it made my day.

Sweet! The GT3, yeah that woulda been a death most likely, but you wouldn't need the bottle for the M5. They're about as quick as a stock LS1.

Here if you don't take the breathalyzer, you are taken to a hospital, at your cost, for a blood test.

Thanks MOM... 24 last week. As for street racing, I havn't done it since I got my license taken away. I drive like a damned grandma, and I dont think my car likes that too much. But ya gotta do what ya gotta do, and I fucked up and know that. Street racing is too damned risky and I try to keep it at the track.

Same here. I really had no choice...other than not getting behind the wheel, which was obviously a poor decision. Just a hair over the limit, a few beers will come back to bite ya in the *** so dont get behind the wheel.

The rut pretty much finished up in the frist week of november, but you know how they are still damned active for a while, especially if the doe population is scarce.
