Oh What a Feeling… Toyota

So there I am, sitting at a red light waiting for it to change to a prettier green when two guys in a white Toyota pickemup start saying come on old man. Let’s race.

Now it’s pretty clear that neither my XR or myself is a race duo and his Toyota surely isn’t a track truck but who cares when a challenge comes up right? haha

So light turns green and I turn the wick up to about 70 percent and let him lead long enough to think he’s winning. Passenger makes hand signals to the effect of “come on man, we’re dusting your ass”. That was about the time I proceeded to turn up the remaining 30 percent.

At 30 ish he had me by just shy of 2 car lengths… at 80 I had him by nearly 3… full tuck, one handed as my left hand was waving him to try and catch me.

It was a fun half mile it was. =)
