I decided to take the Buick for a little drive today since it was a gorgeous mid 80 degree sunny day. So I headed down a six lane divided and reached an area with no traffic ahead when I noticed a green Kawasaki 1000 Ninja coming up behind and got right up on my back bumper. It was modded with an extended swing arm, stainless exhaust etc. I figured what the heck, I want to see how the old Buick does against this guy.
So I downshifted into 2nd and started pulling hard. He gets down and tucked and tries to reel me in... nope. I shift into drive and looked in my mirror, he's still back there about 5 car lengths behind now. I did the thing I rarely do, and that is shift into OD. I pull through overdrive and he is fading back, at least 6 or 7 car lengths now. He finally gives up and we both slow down. He's shaking his head/helmet and giving me a thumbs up.
We pull over briefly to talk and he was in shock. He said he was doing 160 MPH trying to catch me and just couldn't gain anything on me. He asked what the heck I was running, and I replied just a pump gas combo with no meth or nothing. I didn't have the heart to tell him it's a V6.
What a great race, one of the best in my lifetime. And a really cool guy who's reaction was priceless!
