Default OBLITERATED a 5.0

First off, I wasn't even in the mood for racing... this ***** just p!$$ed me off. Wish I'd had a vid of this one.

So I was headed to Dalton from Chattanooga, and I had to get on 75 south from 153. I went to go around this quite nice looking fox body(metallic burnt orange paint... VERY sharp) to get in one of the lanes going into 75 south. Well, this dude must have gotten his pride hurt or something, 'cuz he wouldn't let me around him. I tried almost stopping, and he STILL wouldn't let me get over! Finally I'd had enough, so here we go into 3rd gear at 60. If his pride wasn't hurt before, it certainly is now... I'm talking train-lengths! Needless to say, I managed to get over in front of him, and back to a safe speed on the ramp to 75 south. He followed me, but he was WAAAYYY back in the pack for some reason , and I didn't have to deal with him again.

To be honest, I'd hope so.

The heck of it all is that I just wanted to move over a lane and go my merry way. Had he not been the little punk he was, I'd have given a thumbs-up on his paint, 'cuz the car itself was sharp.

Lmao, probably stock. Anywho, its rare to see a sharp 5.0 now days, thats why I get so pissed when ppl say they are a dime a dozen, VERY FEW are dent and rust free.

Yes, a good conditioned one is very hard to find and when you do expect to pay $$$ as for that thing he did....I have plenty of people say "gimme a car legnth and i'll race you" what kinda **** is that...You're going to block me from passing.... Some badass slicks will take care of that though

Not really GG, you jsut have to LOOK to find a CHEAP 5.0 in good shape. They are getting rarer though and MINT 5.0s cost more than the did new (finally). Not bad for a car that was produced in the millions...

My grandpa drove a shitbox truck that MANY a young chica applying lipstick got a close-up view of, THey always were sideswiping the damn thing, they just kept on driving and he would chuckle and do the same. Truck was beat to hell anyways.
