I'm finally home from Brazil.
Two weeks drinking Brazilian coffee with no outlet has me bouncing off the walls.
So I was cruising home from work yesterday...
As I sat at an intersection, I saw a newer Evo pull up in the left turn lane from the opposite direction across the intersection. The driver was pointing at me and talking to his passenger.
He got to the light too late to trip his turn signal, so I got my green, As I got across the intersection, I floored it and busted the tires loose while smiling at him and waving.
I told you....I'm pent up....
Then I watched in my side view as this nut runs his red (no other cars were coming through the intersection) and flips a U to come after me. I'm thinking...you gotta be kidding....
He caught me at the next light and was laughing.
Me: I knew that'd get your attention, but did you blow that light just for me?
Him and his buddy passenger: laughing.
Him: You remember me....way back...04 Cobra...I beat you? It's my girlfriends car.
Me: Must have been a long time ago. How long?
Him: Early last year!
Me: Wow....that was a long time ago. (I remember him now)
Him...(obviosuly over confident and not knowing that back when he beat me, my old engine was on it's last leg, and I had a stock everything at the time...probaly barely capable of a 14): You wanna go from a roll?
Me: If that's how you prefer to lose...sure.
All of us: laughing
Him: OK...I'll honk 3 times then we go.
Me: OK...Honk it off whenever you're ready
Him: That's Bad @$$! I knew I should have driven the Cobra!
Light turned green and we slowly accelerate up to about 30 before he honks the first time. I had left it in drive figuring I'd rather give him a little hope at first and then blow around him.
Third honk we both nailed it and he got out to thepoint that my front bumper was even with his rear bumper while I kicked down and built boost. Then I just walked on by.
He caught back up as we slowed down, and was laughing and yelling.
I was still thinking about his last comment....."That's Bad @$$! I knew I should have driven the Cobra!"
I waived with a toothy grin and thought.... "Go get it!"
I'll probably see him again....and his girlfriends Cobra will feel my revenge...
