Default Triple Death!!!

Well 3 cars met their death.

Cruisin' home from work... yes i was in a hurry...

1. VW Jetta "turbo" (like it matters). He pulled up... dropped into 2nd from 60mph... 10 bus lengths when I shifted to 4th.

2. EVO!!! My first EVO race. Not an MR edition. Silver... maybe 2004 or 2005. Not sure how to tell em apart. Same thing... off of 60mph into 2nd and I was gone. I had maybe about 8 cars by mid 4th gear. We hit traffic... and I wasn't about to take to 150mph. Cool guy... rolled down his tinted window and gave me the thumbs up.

3. After the EVO death a prelude, possibly traveling with the EVO, pulled up. We went off of 60. This prelude was not stock and not slow. I had him by maybe 4 cars. Not sure if my car was suffering from heatsoak... but his car was quick. It was turbo... LOUD blowoff.

Anyway... had fun. I ran into an M3... but there was too much traffic. Couldn't nail it. That would've been a fun race.
