Default BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD Cobra

cruising along today on stratford rd, in winston-salem, in my dad's TJ, and come up behing this NICE sounding cobra (old body style) i hear it and man did it sound good. get up beside him and ask him what he's got done- he responds "everything" great a smartass/dumbass. i said "supercharger?" he said it had a supercharger and was built and tuned down in mooresville. said it was pushin around 650 to the rear wheels. I kind of don't believe this because i had to entice him, so i drop to first at about 25 and completely leave him (he's not racing) he gets in behinds me (maybe he was mad?) and guns it, and absolutely thrashes by me (i'm back down to 35) i could hear him coming from a long way back but it sounded sooooooooooooooooooooooo good. but thought i'd let ya'll know- but he got on 67 after that and i just drove by with a big thumbs up and grin. thought i'd let ya'll know.

What color was the stang? I wonder if I have seen him around. By the way next Sunday the 22nd I am going to Piedmont Dragway to test out my new cam. I am going to try to get a few people to go. You ought to go Bowtiered.

my dad's TJ. it's a 6cyl. . . lol. . . beaten many a ricer in it. . . put it in 4wheel to launch then take it out when i hit 2nd my blazer is semi out of commission. running open headers apparently bothers the neigbors and police so i drive it very little. i may drive it once or twice more before i do a body off restoration on it.

A TJ is a newer style jeep, so he was in the jeep.

YJ- pre 96 wrangler- leaf sprung, square headlights.
TJ- 97-up wrangler- coil sprung, round headlights. i hit 120+ today in it just did some calculations. . . (speedo stops at 100) call me stupid, it was stupid. i was pissed, shouldn't have done it, i know i know. i could have killed myself, i know. but i fucked up.
