Default awesome death

so last night i was cruisin around with my friend and we go by this house in our neighborhood and he tells me to slow down. we look in the garage and this guy is working on a 67 stingray and there is also a 60's porche roadster in there. so we decide to get out and talk to him and it turns out the stingray has a 383 stroker that is pretty built. the guy said it put down around 500 rwhp. he takes me for a quick ride in it and then takes my friend. i couldnt pass up the chance so i decided to follow we ran 4 times from a low roll and i got the jump on all but one and he just reeled me in pretty quick, put a couple of cars on me and we shut it down. all in all it was a great night.

Nice death. It's mighty hard to find an old toy to play with. Most of the older guys just run 'em out to the shows and that's it. Hell, I even went to one of these shows to try and find some competition last summer and couldn't find any takers.
