Default Righteous Kill

Driving home from work this afternoon...

I took the camaro to work today, hell it looked like it might not rain, so why not. Anyway I am driving up hiway 3 and up ahead I see a gorgeous Red Viper Hard top with big white stripes. I have seen him a time or two but never been in the right place, right direction. Any way, he is up ahead in the slow lane, so I stroll up next to him. When I get next to him he looks over at me, we meet eyes. Out of NO Where, he drops a gear or two and slams it hard, Mind you this is at 60 ish mph. Before I know whats going on I am watching light smoke rolling off his tires ! He gets the Jump! The Bastard! In an instant, almost intinct, my right foot hits the floor. The tranny hits into second gear, All I can hear is wasegate and SHHHHHHHHH. Muahahah, I am on his rear tire, then at his door, I look over and the only thing I can see in his car are his large, wide eyes . As the Turbo Devours his front tire, his front bumper. At about a buck twenty he shuts down, good call on his part. I was a full car ahead! My heart is thumping in my cheast!

I put on the clampers and bring it back down to 60ish. As I slow down he is in the rear view. I slow down some more, he just stays behind me. I couldn't even get him to pass me. He must have been ashamed . I have to say that is the most righteous kill I have scored, I love the look of the Vipers, beautiful cars, just too bad they are so slow .

I can only imagine what was going through his mind as I pulled away from him. "But, But, its just a camaro.... " might be one thing he was thinking. Its really too bad I couldn't get him to play any more. I would have loved a rematch!

And thats my excitment for the day.

Ryan

And on the seveth day, god created.......BOOST!


AWESOME KILL! There is no better feeling in the world than eating a viper on the highway. I can only imagine what the empty hole in his stomach felt like. ESPECIALLY from a sleeper looking rig like yours. One would NEVER suspect the pain your rig can dish out.

Well Ryan was with me for that one......"Maybe it's a
luck thing".....I'll have to say that a Barchetta does have some sweet assed head lights...They even look better when your slowly pulling away all the way until I lifted at 160 or so. Not really though because that's illegal...It was really only 16mph... OOPS forgot to add ..nice Viper kill....It's funny he tried to jump you and then you ran him down...He is now heading to the shop to see what's wrong with his car...

You know he's not headed to dealership to trade-in on a F-body... can't get one any more. Maybe he's surfing the LPE used section for one
