Default Spanked yet another SRT4

Woke up this morning very groggy, late for work due to partying last night (fell asleep at 5am).
Stopped to get some hurricane supplies and filled up the tank. Made my way on to the freeway for the daily commute.

Yet another SRT4 on the left lane.

This one was a roll from about 75mph (I think, I was really groggy, just going through the motions). I just remember dropping down to 3rd and hitting the rev limiter quickly after I saw him take off. Shoved it into 4th and the reel in and walk commenced. Shut down at 120mph with the guy about 2,3,4 cars back?- again not too clear with the outcome. Slowed down to give the guy his thumbs up.

Cliff notes: Woke up really groggy, bought hurricane supplies, got to work late, killed another SRT4.

^ GA, Hehe, I don't know why, but I've had 3 SRT kills in 3 weeks. All going to and from work. It's a statistical spike.

Everyone I see doesn't want to run for some reason. Not sure why that would be. Maybe it has something to do with the "Zzzzzzzzzzziiiiiiiiiiiiippppppppp" of the blower.

I think they fear Cobras more than F-bods (as do most people).
I must admit though, 2 of the 3 kills were instigated on my part. My being banned at SRTforums has me seeking somewhat of a revenge.

I feel about the same with 350Zs around here. Seems i get more than my fair share. If they whistle, its a good time, otherwise its like you, find a gear, doesnt much matter which one, lay the hammer down, count to 5 and bang, i win. Still have yet to line up with me a neonneonneon4. Theres one thats out of another shop im friends with, but i have it on good info i should wait till post N20 & longtubes installation to tackle him.

Heres to $2200 worth of parts on the floor of the office doing squat but taking up space.

there are 4 skittles in my town that ive had the pleasure of wasting.all owned by 20-25 year olds who went and bought the cheapest new "performance" car and think they can take on the world. they were instigators everytime. one of the guys i double teamed with 69_yenko on a 4-lane one night. a week or so later he traded it in on a truck! oh, and a guy that i know bought it, and he came in to work showing it off the other night and challenged me! i couldnt help but laugh.
