it started out like most of my stupid trips to the city, me and a buddy hopping down back roads with no one in sight. Then of all things i see in the distance a wee little civic hatch. giggling i run right up behind him and in typical civic fashion he down shifts and makes noise but doesnt really go anywhere. i keep behinds him till after a small bend in the road and he waves me up beside him. I bite and take third up beside him where i hear that damned irritating noise again. I hit it and just walk away from him short shifting at 5500 to fourth and continue to walk. As i look in the rear view mirror i see a girl in the passenger seat belittleing him(well probably just yelling at him) and he turns off on the next road.

I was all well and happy with just that seeing as ive had the car about 3 months and raced not a soul in it. But low and behold i see a second gen. eclips pass by me at a stop sign. He had a big old front mount and i sort of shrugged and decided what the hell if i win whoopie if i lose oh well im at 50% for the day. I pull right up behind him and he immediatly down shifts, as do i wanting to see if i can actually keep up with him. He pulls for a second and then nothing we're both just eatting the road up from 50-115 before traffic shows up ahead. I get beside him in traffic later in the city and he revs his engin and blows his blow off valve i smile wave and take my turn to head to the mall. Not a win but certianly not a lose by any standard.

finally.....not really that much to brag about. on the way home we pull up to the last light before we leave the city and a neon sxt full of college students is sitting there. they all point and look at my car, i dont think much of it since i like the fact people look at my car. Then as the light turn green the neon launches itself in a mad dash to get ahead of me. My buddy laughs as i punch and just fly right by them.

All in all not a bad day for me and i finally got to race my t2 so im just damned pleased.

 

this post has the feeling of sars



with a few less details



[quote name='Srce' date='Apr 23 2003, 05:50 PM']That's right, 4 kills in about a span of 40 minutes. Done on Chicago's LSD (Lake Shore Drive- 4 lanes)



1. Cute chick in a Z4 pulls up while I'm on a stop light in the downtown section of LSD. I look over while she stops and give her a quick smile. She smiles back and revs, I rev back, it's ON. Light turns green, she floors it I ease out and by 35MPH she's put 2 cars on me. No my tranny sucks and the Tempo's an auto so now is my perfect time to make the move. I floor it and pass her at approx. 95 (approximatly because the Tempo's speedo only goes up to 85). We slow down and she smiles again and turns off towards downtown. No phone number, but that's OK, I got a piece of that new car *** and it didn't cost me 2 LARGE (F&F quote for you).



2. 3 minutes later I catch up to a Millenium Yellow C5 vert. Here's the fun part, well the FIRST fun part. I have to drop it into NEUTRAL to rev (LOL), so I do that and get the dude's attention. 3 Beeps and he takes off, I follow suit and make up the half a car he put on me. By about 120, I'm one car ahead and he calls it quits. Thumbs up and he's off.



3. 5 minutes later. Funnest ( I know it's supposed to be "Most FUn" but hell) kill of the day, a ricer Civic. Stickers of GReddy and HKS, fart can, bad offset 16 (I guess) rims and tints of course. Neautral drop again from about 40MPH, I get his attention. He floors it doesn't wait, his exhaust sound is killing me, it's freaking horrible. I'm at about 1/3 throttle and somehow he's not getting away from me. That was to be expected, I stay with him till like 60MPH and I'm at about half throttle and he's not moving past me. I look over and laugh, and he;s like WTF. So I just floor it and leave him in the dust.



4. Hardest kill of the day. I get of LSD and now I'm on Irving Park Road (Two freshly paved lanes of fun, when there's no traffic). Gorgeous early 70's 350 Vette pulls up. Truly mazing car, it was in Cherry Red and I gota little word with the owner before we went for it. We get of a stop light and he waits till we get up to my "save flooring speed LOL". Now we're at about 30MPH and he sort of says "Lady's First", I go for it and put half a muscle car on him HAHA. I didn't press all the way and I was at about 3/4 throttle.He floors it and catches right up to me, we're bumper to bumper and he's slowly pullnig ahead. 65MPH now, traffic looks good, nothing to evade no cops in sight. I push it all the way and gain back the few feet he got on me. We both stop at 80MPH when I'm a 6 or so feet in front of him. Good guy, nice car, he gave me props and I gave him some too.

The car's been shitty all week long, I changed the fuel filter and oil (it was way over due) and it seemed to still lack a bit of power. I checked everything out and found a hole in my homemade cold air box. It's a shitt box but it was cheap to make and does the job well. I fixed the hole and the car was back to its old *** kicking self. All in all, I'm pretty happy how everything went down, and FYI, I'm being so maticulous about the streets/freeways I'm racing on so the locals know where and when everything went down. Have a good one guys.

how would he know about the tempo.. only 37 posts, and hasn't even been a member very long..



unless he browses for hours

 

the tempo stories were great, and some people believed him, that made it even better.



kevin.

 

maybe you should change your screename to blue 87 TII??

 

i would but i had my blue gxl first and seeing as it is my daily driver this name just seems to suit me better.
