So' I just took a little drive to "remove the soot from the plugs"
I came across an 8-way highway intersection with 2 truck stops.

I pull from one of the side roads, turn right, and in 1rst gear I get to 40mph (the speed limit).
At the underpass; there are two redlights, 4 highway exits/entrances ramps.
Add the two truck stops and 3 hamburger joints to the area.
Then add one of the large intersections that has a redlight camera.
(it all happened fast)

So here is the story,
I turn right, and from the hamburger joint across the street is a black C5 with wagon wheels.
I turn and wind first gear...he hears that and zooms in front of me, across the lane, and starts getting on it.
We are about 150 yards from the camera....LOL

I continue to wind the gear, but slowly creeping to 40...but since I kept it in 1rst gear, he thinks I am "going for it".

He pulls way up ahead of me, but can hear my car, so he keeps going.

I shift to 2nd, chirp a gear....then....I have to let off!!!! (speed limit)!!

I roll under the light at 40...... and I had just seen the flash!!....HAH! HAH! HAH!

The dude was so intent on hauling butt, being ahead of me, and wanting to race,  he sped through I figure doing 60 or more...

I sat back and grinned...


I pulled up to the next light in the left hand turn lane, he on my right.
Conversation was.

Me = you just got a ticket

him = how?

me = redlight camera.

him = ohhhh...and here I thought I whooped that car...not yours....the Mitsubishi trying to cut me off.

me = ohhhhhhhhh!....gotta go.
I set him up, he took the bait, then made an excuse he didnt know I was there....

I turned left....chirped 2nd gear again.


I am evil........


LOL

Mannn..I was beat down and tired from a very hectic day at work---you just made my day

Man, I am telling you...it was funny...I couldnt keep the grin off of my face when I was talking to him...I didnt know whether to tell him or not, you know; just say "nice awsome high-powered car you got there!"....feed his ego...
But I couldnt contain myself into letting him know his "fun" at that busy intersection cost him (or should I say: "will" cost him in about 2 weeks...
I almost feel like going video the scene so ya'll can get a good idea and be able to visualise.
The cat was about 30 and a few tats.....the car was a 3@5 x 5@20. 


LOL @ this whole incident...
