I dropped my son off at school to go play basketball. The team was leaving to go play in a tournament.
Afterward I had to go pick up a power steering pump for my other car so I headed across town.
Actually to the next town over about 10 miles .
Once there I am in the left turning lane waiting for the light and just as I get the arrow and turn onto the 5 lane road headed to the parts store a brand new red charger RT hemi coming from the opposite way takes the right only merge going the same direction I am. I'm in the left lane him in the right the car had tint but I saw the sunglasses as he looked my way as we end up side by side no traffic for about a 1/4 mile and only one side road to watch for traffic. As we get straight I hear him give it a little and he pulls about 1/2 car I just ease into it just enough to spool the 44 maybe 1/3 wot and answer the challeng jumping back even maybe a bit ahead he then let's off and I am left alone at about 45 mph I guess he figured better of it or never intended to race and I was a dork ???
Got the heart rate up a touch at first anyway.
Fwiw the ok Buick felt dang ready to run today on the way home from a dead punch boost spiked 23 stablized at 22 and smoke the firestone,s till it shift to third gear for about 100 feet or so... I added 11% fuel today chicken I think it liked It O2 was about 755 recorded a low of 722 @68mph still zero knock. I think I'll bump the fp up another psi to 45 though with these cool temps.
