The jokes continue:
So as a preface: for the past 7 days I've been having alot of really good things happen to me. This is especially good because 11 days ago I had an utterly awful day that really threw me into a bit of a funk. Personal drama, got fired from a job I had just gotten hired at (long stupid story, basically got the boot because I'm a kid that showed up with a nice car and had some questions about contract labor vs. employee labor for insurance and other purposes), then got my window busted out right infront of my house.
So tonight I'm thinking, let's end this awesome week awesomely. (Which I did, I've got a phenomanal gal that I've met and I got a job again) So I load in Death Magnetic by Metallica, roll the top down and feel pretty bad ass as I go to meet up with some friends for some post 4th of July relaxation. So I'm just cruising in the middle lane, O/D on so I'm in 5th just enjoying myself as an 18 wheeler comes up on my left side. I hit the O/D button so I get a nice 4th gear rumble echoing off the trailer. The trailer moves on and I'm approaching my destination so I leave it off. A 335i ( 2 guys) pulls next to me 2 lanes over, I look over and wave and we accelerate a little so the trailer comes back and we're split. I hear him floor it, so I think :gringreen oh yes, it's time for fun.
8psi, 4th gear, dip into boost and go. After catching up to him as he's still flooring it I even up and look over at the passenger who is frantically trying to tell the driver "Stop stop he's got sh^t done!" but to no avail, as I got right back into it and left him behind.
We were actually both headed to the same place so we parked and talked for a little bit, pretty cool guy, parents bought the car for him : /, just graduated highschool, double : /. His buddy in the passenger seat got out and walked over telling me about how he tried to tell his friend not To even try because he saw my gauges. They'd never seen a F/I mustang before but they understood the word "turbo." They knew some stuff, at least enough to know he had a stock TT I6 engine that could be tuned to make 350+ rwhp. They met up with a lot of friends and left shortly after, I noticed that just about everyone that was leaving with him stepped over and looked at my car in all of its stock looking glory lol. Most were befuddled until they got around to the front and saw the intercooler.
Made my night start off pretty well.
