So, I head out tonight around midnight to grab a cup of coffee and a pack of smokes, and take a bit of a stroll while I'm out (as usual) looking for some kids out late tonight.
Tonight finally I lucked out. Just as I'm approaching a stoplight an orange Mustang GT (new body style) with black stripes tears out of the gas station at the corner. The light turns green just as I roll up and he gasses it (don't think he realized I was there) so hit it hard enough to keep even with him until the next light. I nod at him -- he nods back, and it's on! We're still rolling up to the light at this point, maybe 10mph, I autostick to 1st, light turns green, and I'm off.
I eased into the takeoff a bit, since I have 450lbs of gear in the back that I didn't want flying out the hatchback (literally 450lbs -- computer room UPS system). Despite that fact, I was still busses ahead of him by the time I hit 60 and slowed down for my turn.
I feel as though an enormous weight has been lifted from my shoulders, my Beast has finally proven it's badassedness to the world. I need to do this more!
