Grudge resolved. Blew away 472 big block.

Okay, I think this is pretty funny. A couple months ago I was sitting in my truck at a stop light near work when a station wagon pulls up next to me. It was obnoxious. Ugly, beat, and a nasty flame job on the front. The lanes merged from 2 into 1 so one of us had to go first. I figured I would dust him off and be on my way. The light turns, I hit the gas,..... and this guys WASTES me! I think I was barely moving when he was already in front and pulling away. Then I notice a chunky set of tires under the back end. I later find out this thing, despite being a wagon, has a 472 big block. Not a race car but not shabby either.

So... Guess who I meet yesterday while driving the Vette? This guy does a flyby on me on the freeway and a couple miles down the road gets caught at the same exact light we met the first time. I change lanes and pull up next to him just because he wasted me before. PAY BACK, BABY! As I approach he's roasting his rear tires and smoke is pouring off them Gotta admit, that's the first time I've seen that! So I get next to him and he starts revving. I look over at him and reach up and turn ON the traction control. Yep, that's right folks. It was raining and the roads were wet. I don't care if he has 1000Hp.... he's losing today The light turns and we both hit it. He busts loose and I take off like I've got glue on my tires. I waste him by at least 10 lengths by 60mph and shut down. I don't care if it was a wagon or not. When somebody is that obnoxious it's fun to waste him no matter what they drive!

Although this could get really bad when we meet again on the dry road and he's able to pull me. You notice I said "when." He works one building down from me. We see each other on the road regularily. I can see a horsepower war developing on the horizon. Well, if it comes down to it I could always bring out the big gun and bust his chops with the 'Bird.
