Default First Cobra!

Caught a dark colored beauty of one at a light...side by side...light goes green, both exhausts scream, tires are moaning, and we're even through first, pull on him in second (he short shifted). Get to the next light which is a double right hand turn on to a fwy ramp. We both roll hard into the throttle with him starting off about a 1/2 car length ahead (I was in the outside lane). Made the 1/2 car handicap up at the end of second and ran hard next to each other in 3rd for a moment before we had to let off. He had an AWESOME sounding exhaust. He definetly should have beat me, but he didn't

Good kill.

By the way, you might want to look into writing romance novels.

I've seen the purple ***-smacker before. I just thought it was funny and appropriate at the time.

whether it was an 03 or 04 doesnt really make that much of a difference. Just good to know it wasn't an 01 or something... then you definitely should have one... therefore:

Nice Kill!
