Default "Snake Bitten ...."

.
I'm on my way to a friends, and I see headlights weaving in and out of traffic at a decent speed behind me. Comes flying up to me and pulls along side. Clean looking 03-04 cobra, with exhaust I'm guessing due to the noise. He gooses it a few times to show he's interested, but I'm not really to thrilled since one of my nitto's has a roofing nail in it (getting it changed on monday), so I really didn't want to be racing.
So basically we drove along for a mile or so, with him slamming on the gas then brakes, etc ... He cuts in front of me to avoid traffic and I notice the license plate ... "SNKE BITN" or "SNKEBITE" or something like that (not positive).
I figured that plate was worth a quick run, so I slow down and match his speed in 2nd gear ... give the honks and we're off. He gets a slight jump but I reel him in quite quick. Rev out second, into third ... by the middle of third have a good 2 cars on him and have to brake to slow for the upcoming traffic. After the race he wouldn't come back up next to me, and did an illegal "cops only" U-turn a few hundred feet down the road.

I guess that's what happens when a stock 03-04 puts "SNKEBITE" on their plates? I know it's not the best kill, but I haven't gotten any action in like 2-3 months, and it's been alittle slow around here....

Yeah ... I thought it was pretty cool ... just not on a basically stock cobra (which I am assuming he was based on the run, who knows tho?).

I saw a plate today on a 03 Cobra that said UR2SLOW Then I walk into the resturant and there stands a middle aged guy with the SVT jacket on. That supercharger is a great ***** enlarging device.



Im just jealous I wish I had a Cobra.

I thought about personal plates and then decided I'd best stay more anonymous with this thing. The boys in blue pay me enough attention on the weekends as it is. They know whenever I roll out of the hangout, it's to race somebody. Going 60 and 4 in a year makes for a bit of a rep.
