Funniest thing ever happened to me tonight. What a nice Fathers' day story.
Just past midnight, coming home from a party (sober of course), a Mustang 5.0 GT with headers, cams, etc. followed me on one of the major streets here. He was pacing me and stayed on my blind side. I knew he wanted a race but I know better. For about a mile, he was running along my right side. Then I thought this guy might ram into me or throw something and take a quick right turn and I'm SOL.
At an approaching intersection, the light turned red so we had to coast to a stop but before we got to a full stop, it turned green so I decided to give it a go, 1st to 2nd to 3rd short shifting at less than 6,000 rpms and he was trailing me by about 5 car lengths by the time I shifted to 3rd when a cop car pulled in front of me from a 7-11 store. I thought: "Oh Shiiiite, I'm toast"! Then I managed to think in a split second and changed lanes in front of the Mustang and I flashed my hi beams at the cop car. The Mustang changed to the left lane and I went over to the right turn lane and sandwiching the cop car between us.
We all came to a stop and I looked at the cop and he opened his window and immediately I told him that the Mustang has been following me and wanted to race my car. The nice cop says: " Isn't that the turbocharged 300 hp car? No contest." He gives me a thumbs up with a big grin on his face and I told him thanks.
He then makes a left from the center lane and followed the Mustang. I'm sure he'll harass the poor kid and his passenger for fun. :lol:
I love this car! :bow:
BTW, Happy Father's Day to all the Dads!!!
