Ok, last night went to houston to check out the car show meet that LTHL VNM has started to organize at his new car wash. Well, the meet was a wash with me being the 6th car there. lol
So, we head into houston to check out Westheimer. No bs--as soon as i turn on westheimer from the freeway, i have 2 camaros throwin pipe at me. One is a reddish orange with body kit and white lt1 front end SS rear and wing, and one white ls bodystyle, fresh with the snowflake wheels and center exit exhaust. I'm like DAMN, these boys are throwin revs like they were free. The red one turns by the galleria, so as i pass by and his windows were down, i kindly picked up the pipes he dropped on the street and gave it back to him(with my exhaust at his window)lol ----Look on the passengers face was a mix of confusion and pain.
Anyway, continued down westheimer, when low and behold, mr. snowflake pulls next to me, jumping the car, throwin pipe and wanting to race in traffic. I just keep cool for 5-6 blocks until the traffic thins away and he slows down for me, he's got her geared down and as i pull next to him, he takes off. I just watch him go.(i forgot about the Houston-no honk rule). So he slows and i pull up again, this time i gear it down and wait, i thought he jumped so i went(i later found out he did jump). i just shut er down. So a few more blocks and he pulls up again, i gear the ole dsg down to 2nd at about 25mph, and he slowly pulls next to me at about what i would guess as 8,000 rpm, ready to go. This time i let him get out about a fender on me so i can see him launch. I see the fender go up, so i hit it. I run it thru second and have about 4-5 lengths between us, so i shut it down without going to 3rd. Took him a while to ease back up, but i was satisfied that the Torch red cobra trailing us who wanted a piece of him, could take it from here. I nodded to the guy and bowed out and let a fellow serpent owner get some.
I know, i know, long read and anticlimactic. But that was all i ran into on my trip to H-town.:shrug:
