Default Not really a kill story, but expect one... maybe

Look out for a guy claiming that his Mach1 beat an 05 GT. I'm on the way to dinner with my wife and this Mach1 (automatic) pulls up the the stop sign on the right. Of course, he looks over at me and then tears ass down the street. It had to be an auto because his left arm was sticking out of the car and he was steering with his right.

Anyways, I made my turn left and took the long road down to the main highway. He's sitting in front of me, which was when I learned it was a Mach1, and we both turned right at the light. He has a 5 car length on me, all the while glaring at me in his sideview mirror, and slows down and matches my speed, trying to bait me.

There were three reasons I couldn't race him, just to see what my car had:

1. The wife is morally against racing. She knew exactly what he was doing and she told me not to even think about it.

2. I wasn't thinking about it, which I wasn't considering I had less than 1/8th of a tank of gas.

3. And, if I wasn't even thinking about gas, there was major traffic around 500 feet in front of us. Just asking for a wreck/ticket.

So, he sits there trying to bait me, but I don't look at him to give him the wrong idea and he finally speeds up a bit and leave me alone, only to cut me off in a most dramatic fashion a few seconds later. We followed him a bit until he almost rear ended a car to get through a red light.

Anyways, not a kill on either part, but I would've loved to run him... and lost.

I've only had one time to actually race another car, a Z28, but there were cops EVERYWHERE at that intersection. Two had two cars pulled over and they were doing some sort of construction that another cop had a lane blocked off. And I know that Z28 wanted to go too.... man I'm missing out.

You just have to be in the right place at the right time, don't race in areas that you know are littered with cops, you'll get burned.

Listen to Vantage, he knows what he is talking about. i wish i had thought of that stuff BEFORE i got my drag racing ticket. ya, 8 points on my license. ALMOST got taken to jail too, i was handcuffed and in the back of the car, very very scary. oh, and 300 dollars, just wasn't worth winning the race.
