This has happened before but I have never written about it, so here goes.
I was going out for a nice sunday drive in the "L" when I hit the highway by my house I see what appears to be a Cobra. So, I pull up to him and look him over really quickly and realize he is GT in snakes Clothing with a loud exhaust. So, I continue about my drive.
About two minutes later I see them pass me, it is a young driver maybe 17 or 18 and his 15 year old passenger. Traffic slows them up and I see him looking for me and his passenger looking eager to catch up to me. Finally, I pull to the right and he gets there and the passenger motions me to roll down my window, so I do. He says if I am up for it, we would hit it at the next light, because his buddy's BT is quite moded and he has beaten Lightnings before. Now, I am trying figure out what he has that I didn't see.
that light comes up and it is green, he is waiting as it turns yellow and red as I slowly ease into place. He is reving it and looking over. I took him off the line and had him by five cars lengths when I hit 80 and pulled off to get gas.
Now, this is the point. Two parts. One, why race why you suck? And second, now I am filling with gas, he pulls up screaming about me cheating and him kicking my ass. well neither thing was happening, me cheating or him kicking anything.
So, against my better judgement and with 24 gals on board. We do it again, and again by four car lengths at 80. I immediately pull over and his passenger was telling him that i won and his car sucked too.
I pulled away and continued to enjoy my day with the 60 degree weather.
adam, confused at todays young folk.
