Here's one from tonight...
I'm comin' back from a late night Burrito run, when a fast moving set of
headlights quickly changes lanes and ends up behind me (lord knows she
didn't want to be inconvenienced by having to be behind someone at a
stoplight). This particular victim was a 98+ Blazer, and apparently
needed to be in the lane I was so rudely occupying. Well, the light is
ready to change, and she is already rolling forward. I see this as the
"I'm gonna' punch it" sign and start loading up the Torque converter.
Green! POW! I wait for her to mash it and sure enough, she did! I'm out
of the hole like a bullet (if a premag is good for anything, it's
low-end). Since I run my rear tires at 25psi all the time, hookin' up was
not a problem. I jumped out strong and closed the gap between us real
quick, then hit 2nd with authority. She's still on it, and moving pretty
good, but that 4x4 pig didn't have the balls to stay ahead of the
still-mighty-premag. I passed her by right at the top of 2nd (about 55
mph) and hit 3rd where I just drove off. I got out of it around 70 and
she thought it would be funny to blast by me at 80+ and buzz my front
end....
well, the second part of the spank...
She cuts onto a road that is known in the area for being quite twisty
(hhhmmm... low ridin' Dak vs. 4x4 pig blazer on twisties...). She was
trying... poor thing... but lost way too much ground on the turns to keep
me from crankin' by her the first chance I got. Not the safest move, but
worth the embarrassment factor on her part (ya'll shouda' seen the look
on her face when I grabbed a gear halfway through a tight turn and blew
by her.. oh man it was EPIC!!).
She stayed a good way back after that.... muuaahahahahaaaa!!
