well last night i was taking my good friend home in the Dirtymax, and we pulled up to a red light. it was one of those "sit for ten years and die before the light changes" kind of lights. so she and i are sitting there waiting when i noticed a Mustang pulling up in the right lane, with a SS/SC 'Balt in close tow. well my friend sees them pull up and starts egging me on to race, and she LOVES races. so finally i caved in, put the truck in 4hi, and jabbed the gas twice to get the truck to lurch a little. right after i did that i heard the 'Balt give two very loud revs, and the guy in the Stang had a look of "this is gonna be easy"
i notice the other lights are changing to red, so i start brake boosting. the light turns green and my foot slides off the left side of the brake pedal, causing a full boost 4 tire chirp. almost instantly i pull a 1 car lead, and hold on to that lead right up to 65mph. in my mirror i can see him slowly creeping up on me, with the Cobalt trying as hard as possible to not slam into the back bumper of the Mustang. i hit 70 and shut it down, with the Stang almost to the front of the bed. shut down because the road merges from two lanes to one.
i never really got to talk to the guys after that, the Stang just didn't let off the gas. the guy in the Cobalt slowed down and gave me a thumbs up though :metal:
