Default two runs tonight. 1 out of 2 aint bad

first one was a WS6. was going down center street towards the freeway to pic my wife up from work. and came up a couple of cars behind the WS6. he would take off from lights pretty quick. so i finally managed to hop scotch my way through traffic to get up next to him. finally hit a light and the light turned green and i gave it enough gas to stay ahead of him. (setting the hook ) well caught a few more lights and i finally heard him gun it and i held him off untill 40 but i'm pretty sure he let off. because he slowed down pretty quick. so i think ive gotten his attention now. well we get to the feeder road of hwy 225, and he follows me. and about halfway to the next light he takes off. now there was no way in hell i was gonna keep up on a rolling start with that car. so luckily we caught the next light. i stalled up to about 2 grand and the light turned green and i let the hammer down. it was kinda cool, i could hear him taking off and he was grunting to get going, but by the time he got going i allready had 4 car links on him. and that was all she wrote. by the time i hit 50 he was all over me. and by 60 he had 2 car lengths on me. but oh well. i think i scared him a little, with the way the truck jump out on him. think he was like OH ****, i know this aint happening. but any ways when we got to the next light i gave him a honk and waved and went on about my business.

next one was after taking the wife to eat. and came up on one of those infamous HEMI'S. he had his two boys in with him, older fella. at the light he noticed i was giving the truck a good look over( which i was wanting him to notice, like i was in awe.,,,,,,,NOT!) anyways light turned green and i took off again letting him stay right with me. got to the next light and looked over at him and he had that **** eatin grin on his face, and well i couldnt have that. so when the light turned green, he bolted, i let him get about half a truck on me before i hammered it, and just like that he was looking at my tail lights pulling away from him. wound up putting about 6 on him before i let off. i wanted to ask him when we got to the next light if that thing got a hemi? but my wife said "havnt you embarrased him enough? leave the poor guy alone." so i wasnt able to smart off.
so that was the high lite of my night. all in all im happy. i know the hemi's aint all that but you run what your delt. if i could have run something else i would have but that was all i found.
later
Daniel

You call someone tocallo when he is named just like you. For instance, if my name was Daniel instead of File, you could call me "Tocallo" and I would be able call you "Tocallo" and everybody else who's name is Daniel.
