Nice, fiveohpatrol. Sounds like good recreation to me.
I hope you educated the young stanger... (not by just wippin his butt either ).

...wasn't gonna post this, but since the topic is already here...

Today, I was riding behind this broke down '87-'88 GT and after a few minutes of this, knew that there was no way I'd feel good about racing a car in such condition so I get beside it to get around it (me in the right lane) and this motorcycle in front of me slows down to make a right turn WITHOUT SIGNALING!! (guess he thought I was telepathic) so after he turns I get down on it HARD as if to say "yeah, screw you buddy".

The trashy mustang was way ahead now, but when I got down hard on the accelerator, this nice looking '91-93 GT flys up beside me (sounded and looked good too). I could tell it was pretty much stock though + aftermarket mufflers, but he really wanted to go so...

...coming upon a red light, we're both in left lane, he in front and me directly behind him (other lanes occupied). Light turns green we both launch hard (no spinning) and I fly pass him b4 even reaching 3rd. No challenge. So instead of going his way (which was out of my way) I turn left, smile and wave at the next exit.

Haven't had a race in a few weeks so felt good.

--Dangit, I can't tell a short/succinct race story for nothing.
