The other day merging onto the 101 HWY North , I notice this Silver 1st Generation Silver Insight coming up fast in my rear view mirror.
Looked stock , and I do remember a " Q hybrid " license plate .
I dont think much of it, punch it in 2nd and next thing I know Iam in a real battle with this insight doing about 140 . He did have a pretty nice momentum rolling start advantage on me but trust me it was not stock. :dw: I heard that thing squeel but not alot of exhaust noise rather a "Whooshing air" sound.
I was heading to work , and he was getting ready to exit the next exit and all I could do is slow down to see if he rolls his window down. Sure enough he does and with a huuuuge grin on his face , he gives me a look like " Yeah , been there done that " , I coudlnt help but smile all the way to work.
Told all my freinds and they would not beleive me. Iam a car guy and so it was a awesome feeling being neck and neck with a damn INSIGHT! :cuss::-D
Fast forward to this weekend , as Iam heading down the 101 S this time, sure enough I see him Again! Light traffic on the HWY and hes kinda weaving in and out of the lanes doing about 85 mph. So like a cheetah I stalk him for about 3 miles ( exits ) and right before Topanga Cyn I get my chance ... Pull up next to him , bring my window down and we start talking for a breif moment. I tell him " Wow , that things fast , you remember me?" and hes like " ohh yeah and I do remember you" .. Just briefly looking at the car , it didnt look like he had much of a interior ( maybe gutted ) and when I asked what he had , he told me it was a built 4 banger with boost, I didnt get more info because at that point I was like a virgin with a hooker , I wanted to tango , BAD! and I was not going to let my balls get any more blue , I wanted the bastard and wanted a rematch! . :burnout:
I dropped into second gear around 50 mph and we both hit it this time evenly ,I pull about a couple of cars on him and we raced till about 140 again , this time I was infront by about 3 cars , but again non the less very IMPRESSIVE!
I really only pulled on him till around 125 , we were clooooose all the way .
His car was pretty damn fast , and as a car guy I was impressed. :thumbsup:
Anyway I let him catch up , we sent mutual thumbs up and went on our way.
All in all it was a good day at the "Roll Racing" office :-D
