Get to the exit of the parking lot at work, on my way to pick up lunch...
About to turn left...
I see one yellow car with a huge wing fly by... Then a blue one with another huge wing... and then a low civic...
I change my mind, and turn right, flooring it... First... second... third....
For those who dont know, it's a windy road. My record and being able to keep the car in control is 55 or so. The tires squeal like nothing at that speed.
Two turn off, but I caught the attention of the last one. He speeds behind me trying to catch up...
We approach the last turn... I'm going a tad above 80... 81 or 82... and hit the last turn... Took my options, and went from the outside lane inward, to smartly make the turn a bit wider... and now I have myself a new record.
That fella couldn't keep up. His 'modified' suspension in his car couldn't, and certainlly the driver wasn't able to. He stopped next to me, and just nodded. Eh... I'm sure it woulda been more than a nod if he had won... but too bad, punk. =)
What to do... Get a new buffed up Cavalier? Or for the same price, or a bit less or more, get another car, that can perform a lot better, and perhaps get more respect?
Cars are my life. They are what give me hope in a project to continue on... They motivate me, and move me (literally 80% of the time).
Well... off to see the inspiration of my life soon as work is over... My doll...
