Good job Ken, glad to see others are still showing folks who the baddest
trucks on the road are :) I had a very satisfying kill myself the other day
on my way home from work. I'm going through traffic on the boulevard, which
is six lanes each directions, with a median between every three lanes,
interesting setup to say the least. But it can make for some fun scenarios,
since you'll get six ppl lined up at a light :) Anyway, I'm in the left
three lanes and I look across the median and there's a early 90's Crustang
GT with big fat 4" duals and flowmasters, with some young kid behind the
wheel wearing a ballcap sideways (I hate that lol). Him and another guy in
a DelSol with a fart can are going at it, weaving through traffic, racing at
every light. They're running pretty even most of the time. I'm dying,
stuck behind the herd of mini vans and suvs, just watching these two.
Finally, I make it to the line and I can hear them revving it up three lanes
over. Light turns green and we're gone, I look to my right and I'm almost
across the intersection just as they're going under the light, DelSol smoked
the Stang, and I smoked both of 'em :) I kept pulling on them, must have
been a few bus lengths away when I hit the next light. The DelSol rolls up,
laughing his butt off and gives me a big thumbs up, that was cool, at least
he can laugh it off, the guy in the stang just gave me a dirty look LMAO
Sometimes it's too easy, but I just can't help myself :)
