yeah...bringing the ta..and the bottle...some smart *** in a muststang was speeding down jog going south. I was in the sy and like i said before it pulls hard off the line but falls off on the other end...well this nut was doing 65-70 mph so i sped up to get beside him which he did not want me to do so he floored it as did i ...

i was about 4 cars lengths behind and did not pull any more on him and he didn't leave me though...the is as we pulled up to light at lantana i got in turn lane to turn around as i go by he says " its gonna take more than that 4.3"... what a smartass...i backed up and said " be out at moroso next friday, I got a white trans am for you " he didn't say **** that time....I always see all these freaking mustangs when i am not in my car...lucky them..... lets see how many mustang guys respond to this
