Default First kill in 3 months

Some of you all may remember me, but I replied to one of the threads a little while back about the ricers and there fly-by's, and got ran off the road. I'm gettin around better now and decided to get my truck out since I got started using my gas pedal foot couple weeks ago. Spent all of today tunin it up and runnin' it down the road here takin advantage of the awesome weather. I'm lucky enough to live right at the beginning of a 2 mile perfect straight away with no traffic on it. Anyways, I was takin it out for the last time before I put it up and as I pull out I notice a lightning coming around the corner, and he gets on my *** pretty quick. We stop at the stop sign and roll across the intersection and he just jets out into the other lane and pulls up next to me kinda grins then floors it and gets the jump on me (little rusty), by the time i floored it he had bout a half car length on me, but by the time we shut off I had a good one or two lengths on him. He pulled up next to me at the next stop sign and was like damn what you got in that thing, I told him it "enough I guess" he grinned and pulled away...Sorry for the long post but it felt great to drive again, much less put a beaten on a blue oval

Nice kill.

Not yet...I remember the car picture perfect and I know he lives in southern Illinois, which is just right across the river from my parents house. In a way I hope I never see him cause I'll probably end up in jail...my insurance company and the cops were supposed to be doing some kind of investigation but its been three months and haven't heard anything so I figure they'll never find him. Oh well, what goes around comes around.
