Went for a ride today just to clear the blues. After 25 miles headed back. Got stopped at a light beside a Dodge pickup with Flowmasters and duals. Didn't even look at the guy. He just took off a little too fast to suit me. The little Savage stayed just about 30 feet behind his right rear fender all the way to ninety. The light was on a four lane hwy with about a 1 1/2 mile straight. Gave him a wave and backed off to 65. Felt good! I'm 57 and I know better, but it was 60 degrees, sun shining, 650 was enjoying the cool air. Sorry to bother ya'll with this, but who else can I tell--my wife?

Everyone does it, some more often than others. Its nice to see how our little single can hold up against the other metal out there on the road.

It's fun to read stories like this.  

Today I was at the first in line, stopped at a one way traffic light, so I just took off down the street for a short bit (probably only hit 40 or so).  I noticed that at the next light, this black Benz next to me revved his engine up high as he took off.  I guess he wanted to show me he had some power too  .

Jog2, About 10 years ago my boss's son let me drive his 48 valve northern light semi hemi whatchamacallit. It was his wife's car. Not like the CTS of today. Looked like a banker's car. The power wasn't what impressed me so much as the handling. I can imagine they've improved even more since then. Fun car to thrash in luxury. Don't bet  against one unless you got some ponies.

We were in Longview & I watched a guy in a Caddy turn left out of a parking lot onto a busy 5 lane , center left turn lane. He didnt use the left turn lane for a chicken lane, he rolled that thing out of the lot & turned left a bit, then stepped on it & zoomed his buttt right on into a gap in traffic. Looked like the same kinda acceleration Ive seen out of Hot Rods from the 70's.
