    98GT and RX8 kill

    The other day I'm on my way back to greensburg/new alex on 66 from LMM in my 86 and a kid in a red 98GT with bullitt rims pulls up and drops her into third. I figured what the hell so i put it in second, cuz i still have the stock gears and at 45 its perfect RPM. We go on three and I snapped on a 1-2 car length lead and kept it there. He got off at the next exit, but it was fun while it lasted.

    Then I get off and jump on 22 towards BP and 819 and a yellow RX8 did the classic "ricer flyby" but got stopped at the light ahead. I pulled up to the light beside him and its some rich lookin dude with his wife/girlfriend in the passenger seat. She looks over when he revs and laughs so i got pissed. When the lights dropped we both took off. i spun real bad and he didn't, but it was still a close start. By 85 i had him by 2-3 lengths. At the next light his wife was yelling at him and you could tell she was pissed cuz she kept looking straight ahead then over at him yelling. HAHA. Another fun trip to and from LMM, can't wait for my Mac CAI to get here

    I used to cruise rt30 all the time, but, quit cause nobody was ever around. Does anybody still hangout in the eat-n-park lot across from tacobell in norwin anymore? I always like to check out the local iron and hang out.

    Judging from your list of mods, you'd probably smoke me. But i'm up for it.
