On the way home, I came across a 94+ Cobra. It had the vertical rear lights, but it sounded like a Windsor engine. In any case, I finally lined up next to him at a two-lane left-turn. I was on the right, and the road we were turning onto said "left lane ends, merge left". We took off, and as he had the inside lane, he got ahead until the straightaway, where I started reeling him in like a fish. I got to his front fender, but unfortunately my lane ended almost immediately, about 3 seconds too soon. So you could say he won. At least it was a Mustang.

A few minutes later, I saw a lowered, wide-tired 65-66 coupe. After various acrobatics, I also lined up at a stop light with him. I don't know what he had, but it souned like a healthy V8, probably a 302. I ate him up, I almost felt bad doing it.

I find myself sometimes taking surface streets instead of the freeway just in the hopes of getting a race, it's like a drug.
