Well, after reading for weeks about everyone else getting into it with someone on the road I began to question my vehicle's man-hood. Since getting her I have yet to race another car. Yeah I know impossible!

Well to my surprise this evening coming home from dinner with my girlfriend, no she was in her Nitro ;) I get onto my local toll road and start driving down the right lane, with my girlfriend following close behind me. I'm driving, looking back at her and realize that she's going way to slow :D

Fifty, 100, 200 yards go by and I'm like F-it I'll let her catch up...hit the brakes to about 70 ;) and she starts to catch up, but as she's closing in I see xenon lights come from around her and start to pull to the left of her, fast.

I dont know how to react. Like a kid in the candy store. Were about ready to get off the toll, what the hell am I going to do? I start to vere off and as quick as that the xenons are behind me on my ass! I pump the brakes to let this mofo know that its not polite to be to close to my ass end. He gets the idea.

Go through the toll and wait for him to come up. Looking back now I realize he's driving a 350 z. Pimped out, blacked out. Come to the light, he's to the left, me the middle, and my girl is slowly coming up behind me, knowing whats going on she stays back a bit.

Light turns green and I WOT, it was orgasmic! He's like 1,2,3 cars behind me when I finally let off the gas. Dude is giving me the "roll the window down hand gesture" so I do, he says "Yo what do you have in that jeep?", "That thing is fast!" I tell him its stock:D , proceed to roll my window up and take off.

Next light he's still to the left of me and he decides he doesnt want anymore, look to my right and there's this late 90's porsche there. Guys looking at me doing the "roll your window down hand gesture" so I do. He says "Wow man that thing is quick!" , "Sounds great, dude." What kind of mods have you done to it?" I tell him air intake, thats it. He says NO FK'n way, I say way. He says "I saw you and that 350 at the light as I was coming off the toll to catch up to you two and the light turned green on me." I said you should of floored it! LOL, he says "I was!" LOL. I say lets catch the next red light, nods his head ok.

Get up to the light but it turns green, so tell him on 3 horns we punch it. He agrees. Were going about 10 miles an hour, honk three times and were off! I punch it, he's, he's he's no where close :D. Look back and he's about 3 cars behind me. We catch the next light. Guy is just nodding his head in disbelief. Says to me "Thats the real deal, dude! Absolutely unreal!" I ask him what type of porsche is that (because I never got behind him) and he tells me "Its 911 Carrera." "I payed 65k for this thing and your JEEP beat me."

That was music to my ears! Until I heard my girlfriend behind me honking telling me to move it :)

What a night!

Awesome, I have yet to play with somebody in the Grand Cherokee. Either people are scarrrred or stupid. Now the funny thing is that my wife was driving the Charger to work last week (6.5 months pregnant) when two Corvettes lined up on both sides of her. They were revving their engines and trying to egg her on. Well you can't see inside the Charger with the tint, but if they only knew who was driving. lol. She said she took off at one of the red lights and had a little fun, but then ignored them and just went to work.

Congrats on the kill! As a coincidence I had a run in with a 911 turbo 2 days ago.He ran up on my a#$ and I got over and let him get in front.we cruised for a while and an open area came up,He proceeded to puch it to lose me well I hit it as well and we went from 80-120 very fast.I bet he was suprised that I stayed on his a#$.:eek: I was very proud of the truck.Of course if I was stock he would have waxed me.I cant wait till we get the jeep.I working out some financial details. So hopefully soon.

Great kills and stories. I am still waiting for an unsuspecting but overconfident victim. Tonnes of rubber-neckers caught double taking as they drive by though.

I woke up this morning thinking it was all a dream..nope it happened :)
The miss's is still pissed off about the whole situation...she'll get over it :cool:

The looks are pretty hilarious. I've read some expressions on peoples faces like :eek: or what the heck was that :confused: but the best one's are these guys when you pass em :mad: !

But in all seriousness be careful when your out on the roads, be responsible and remember not to put other peoples lives in danger.

Not a kill but a respectable story..

I am a college student here in Kansas (Rock Chalk) and I was dropping a friend off at his dorm last night. A group of guys come up to us out side and simply asked me to rev it up. Proudly I did, and they (not knowing it was an SRT) were quizzing me about where i got the body kit, the exhaust, why i had put jeep emblems on my 20's, and so on.

It is awesome to get noticed like that in a jeep...a stock jeep.

I had a run in with a 350z also. What's with these guys? Do they think they are the fastest cars on the road or something?
