Another One Bites the Dust!

I almost forgot to mention, after we left G Will's, I took 117th Ave East and when I crossed Winnetka I was greated by a white Boss 302 pulling out in front of me about 500ft ahead. He was bein a little hard on it, and it was loud for sure. So I jumped the speed up to about 35ish in the 30 zone (not a good idea on that street) and caught up to him. I didn't know it was a Boss until he turned right and I saw the Boss 302 lettering on the fender.

It was on then, especially when it was running like it had some serious cam and exhuast work. I switched from going straight and made a right, he was hard on the gas in front of me and I tromped it down. His tires squeeled a little, but I pulled on him like he was standing still. I got up behind him, very disappointed. I could tell he was backing off, he didn't want to run anymore, and I could hear it. It wasn't cammed, it was missing pretty bad, running like **** altogether. I wasn't even interested in getting a race out of him at that point. It wouldn't have been fair, and I have no desire to embarrass one of the coolest Mustang's ever built because it wasn't tuned right at the time.

Hopefully I'll see that car on the road again, this time running good and see what it's got.

It's really a shame to see it running like that. Maybe he just got it together and is working the bugs out of it? I don't think I've seen it around before.
