Default Just had a fun one

I was on my way home from the mall and seen an early 80's Trans Am coming up fast behind me. He revs at the light, and it sounded like he had something under the hood and I figured what the heck so I rev back. There's a series of 6 lights coming up, he takes the first one, I got the next two, and then we were neck before getting caught at the 4th light. TA takes the fifth but I got the sixth. I turned into a gas station before it goes from 4 to 2 lanes and he followed me in. The guy says he just got the Trans Am two months ago, and turns out it was a '82 without the cross-fire injection, said it was stock when he got it. Only mods he has had made is Flowmaster exhaust and put a manual transmission in it that he'd already had with a shift kit. I gave the guy this website and he said he'd check it out.

Yeah, like they think it'll get them back a little bit of pride or something, yet in reality it just deminishes their status even more.
