Talking Last night was fun...

went to some street races for the first time in friggin years last night... there was a supercharged stang out there whippin a lot of guys butts on the street... naturally things eventually escalated till there was a crowd of about 30 people wanting me to race him NO PRESSURE!

anyways... 2 good runs, both times I had my way with him... ever since I got the head back on and the spark plug issue fixed I swear this thing is like a whole new animal... starting to wonder if that problem was lingering for a while, but this bitch has a nice set of ***** now!

it was funny how many people didn't think I had a chance when they saw him pop the hood with the blower on top... 1-3 gear i was ******* sideways down the road

good runs, and a real cool guy driving the mustang... not a dick like most of em...

anyways... just expressing my "thrill" of the night...
