Learned a couple of things on the freeway tonight

if the other car is 8+ out while WOT while your still at 15000/65mph dont bother chasing casue your gona have your work cut out for you.
You never realize how much you could use a 200mph speedo when your 155 speedo has been reading 155 for the last couple of seconds
its fun comming around the other car hard at 140
At 160 with the windows up, it sounds like therye down.
there are no forms of law enforcement on I-10 at 3 am.
If I dont get into 4th gear, the race is done with.
Thoes lil bumps to outline the lanes are loud at speeds over 130.
I never have a video camera handy when I need one

Just some of the fun I had tonight while ridding around with nothing to do, I guess around eldrige or barker cypress or so I see a car ridding my *** just a little, and I get excited thinking its a cobra casue of the round fog lights. Then he gets over and pulls next to me and im thinking "WTF is that," so I go to 5th to accelerate a little to try to see what it was and this car is leaving me hard. So I go to 2nd and try to chase, O well thats not gona cut it hes too far out. He slows down, gets closer and I realize its a GTO, so I get excited again. We got into about 3 or 4 times, both of us jumping each other, and the last time I glance down at my speedo and see 155, and then again about 3 seconds later and its still saying 155. I didnt intend to go that fast by any means, and started to ease out of it comming up on the top of 5th cause we were comming into katy and didnt want to run into any cops. What a was to turn a boring night into an exciting time, with the cops to haul me off to jail.

lol, you took that Katy Mills curve going that fast. I always thought that you could simulate NASCAR on that curve, guess I was right.

I didnt go that far into katy, I was in front of katy mills when I had got off and was making a U turn to come back to the barker cypres exit that I had passed and didnt even realize it till i had got to mason.
