Default Another Lambo.

Late night at the office the other day, working on a biddies C6, doing some blower/interior mods. It was a rough day,...I wasn't in the mood for a whole lot of ****. I was drenched,..it was about 8:30pm.

I was heading straight west,...towards the highway. When,..a shiny new, gallardo was making the turn, coming from west, making the turn to go north. I kinda had to go north at a moment,....and there was two, really long straights, three lanes wide, in the direction of the lambo. Soo..me being the sporting fello...I made the right,..proceeded to arm all weapons, and fire up the converters, so I could go in for the kill.

I chased him down,...as quiet as possible, even though he had about a 1/8th mile jump on me(like i said, two long straights if I was to follow him). Soo,..I did catch up with him, still with some room to open them up. So,..I slowed down, as I was coming up on him,...downshifted,..blipped the throttle in the process(rev/rpm match'n gears yo)... he looked over. Incase I didn't mention this, it was a spyder,...yellow, and it had TEMP tags on it.

When the guy looked over, who was about my age(10)...he was on the phone. Dude kinda looked like pit bull(rapper). I toyed around a bit, trying to get him to hang up. I was in front of him, by about a car. He then, all of a sudden, moved up, looking over, and smilieing. I went to 2nd gear. staged from my 45mph roll(lethal)....but I was very low rpm,...which still(lethal)....he then JUMPED on it, I was ready. He must have moved out on me about 1 foot, then I started to pull on him. This was over in about half of second gear,....cause he just let off as soon as I started to walk on him.

Too easy.

Then, coming up to a light,...I had to finagle my way just so I could line up against him from a dig.

We did. At the light, he just looked at me, and smiled, like a little kid about to go down a water slide or some ****. Funny. Light turns green,...and I litterly rolled out, like I wasn't interest in racing(my fault).... he was by all means, peadl to the medal. All wheel drive for him, 295 18's eagle F1's for my non dig hooking ***. Anyways, dude put me behind his yellow ***, by about 1 1/2 car. You could probably have put a motorcycle in between us. Seconsd gear, as I was still pedaling,...I stopped his leap...... and started to gain good on him. As soon as I popped off third gear, I was on instant passing him up. Probably by about 10mph difference. As I am fully passing him, I hear a GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR GRRRRRRRR GRRRRRRRR bink. dude missed a gear NASTYYYYYYY.

haha. I'm laughing typing this ****.

Anyways,...he apparently had enough of that. He quickly made a U turn....threw me a PEACE SIGN....went WOT in first,....and went for second,...and missed it again.

As I watched him in my mirror, all I saw where brake lights. Then it looked like he found his gear again.

Anyways. AS I thought, he 60ft'd my *** good,...top of thrid gear, i'm fish tailing but, the car is moving forward at a pretty impressive rate. As soon as I power shifted third gear on him,..I had no more traction issues to worry about,...and I was just bareling down on him hard.

Cool dude for being game to race some obnoxious vette. Another exotic kill.

peace out *******.

Good kill, we are so lucky to have these cars to snack on around here. My wife and I killed a faggy blue one on Federal HWY one night and I think they are quicker than Murcielago's from a roll.

To OP nice kill btw. I saw a yellow one (spyder) weaving in and out of rush hour traffic (blonde chick) last week so no room to go. I probably would have had my *** handed to me but it would have been fun.
