Default whew! close call on Westheimer/Montrose lol

Nice 05+ Mustang Saleen w/ Venom badge pulls up to me and shoots a rev. I'm near stock and figure I might be able to take him, Light changes and we punch it , he did kinda jump the light a bit (not making excuses), and gets me in the dig but as I'm gaining on him i see the all too familiar Crown Vic headlights in the opposite direction and gradually slow to posted speed limit knowing all too well I'm hit. Cop passes us and flips a u,Mustang takes the left lane at Richmond ave and I opt to go straight towards 59 to go home, cop follows Mustang, Mario goes home and wipes sweat while typing this lol. Just thought I'd share it with you all, kinda why it's time for me to go back out to work for another 3 weeks.

I was expecting some thing gay given that particular intersection, but for the most part all of Westheimer inside the loop is fairly packed with traffic and pedestrian. How ever due to the increase in property value and its proximity to down town/med center/greenway plaza, that portion of town has kinda gone from gay to yuppie. Every thing in that area has been pretty much been ripped out and redeveloped over the last few years.

lol I just caught that given the way I worded the location, but I was coming from Fed ex kinkos on Westheimer/Chimney Rock and just decided to cruise Westheimer back to cruise, i didn't notice anything gayish about the Mustang driver outside of him driving a Stang lol.

damn that was a close call. I would have thought he woulda followed you seeing as you were going straight on the same path he was on.

They seem to be everywhere lately. I was almost pulled over in my truck because I let my guard down since it feels slower. I shot up to 80 passing a guy. He must of not noticed or decided to spare me.

Westheimer/Elgin is a good cut through road from down town to get to the Galleria/Mid town when the freeways are shitty. Inside the 610 loop has gotten a lot nicer over the last 5-6 years, I hate living out side the loop though. But man i wouldn't even so much as speed, cops are every where in the loop

What time did it happen? Sometimes you cant help racing in the afternoon, but at night its too risky in that area.
