Once in a lifetime--2 kills in one run!
It just doesn't get any better than this.
My wife and I go cruising in the L, headed down towards Arizona State University last night (figuring lots of young folk ought to be out and about). Tons of people, bumper to bumper traffic by campus. Were sitting at a light and there's 3 guys next to me. I see them waving and yelling to me, so I roll down the window. The guy in the back just kept repeating: Bad A%& truck, bad A#% truck, over and over, the guys in the front are both giving me the thumbs up and telling me how beautiful my truck is. Well, that made my night, it was late, we start headin home. Now for the best part.
I get on Scottsdale road, heading north and then I see a 88-92 style GT getting into the left turn lane to McDowell, so I get behind him. I have a problem though, my wife does not want me racing anyone ever, so I have the Devil on the left shoulder and the Angel on the right, my better judgement chooses the Angel. So he takes off fairly quick and I drive normal. He's gets way out ahead of me when all of a sudden out of nowhere comes this other GT (not the newest gen, but the one before, still w/a 4.6), flies past me, gets in my lane and then the passenger starts frantically waving me on to come get him. Well I'm just coming unglued ready for the challenge (but figure I can't cause of my wife). See says: what the he*% are you waiting for this guy wants you, go get him. Oh, music to my ears!!! So I give it some juice to get closer and he cuts to the lane to the left of me. He slows, gets next to me and the passenger is just freakin out motioning for us to run, problem is he's got a car up ahead not far and then more traffic. Well I stomp it and immediately start pulling him hard (but I don't think he hit it when I did). So I let up, he keeps on and gets in my lane, then gets to my right and takes off, but I couldn't cause there's a car in my lane. Passenger starts motioning out the window and my wife is like: Did he just flip you off, then he keeps on and she says he's not flippin you off he wants you to get him. I take off after him and there's traffic, so no way can I run. Well then we see up ahead the 1st GT. So, 1st GT is in the right lane, this guy gets in the middle lane to run him now, and I'm behind. The road now opens to a long run w/no stop lights. These guys take off and I'm behind, I get to the far left, nail it (keep in mind I'm far back), and they are in a full run together. I figure there is no way I can catch them, well much to my surprise I start gaining on both at a pretty good rate. Wife is still eggin me on (oh this is heaven for me). I don't know what speed it was when I pulled past the two of them, but I think it must have been well over 100. As soon as I went past them, I let up and hit the skids. The hyper passenger starts giving us the thumbs up as they take off now ahead of me. This had to have been a once in a life time shot to run two cars at the same time.
My truck has been progressively running better and better as the mileage rolls on. I am so happy right now, words cannot describe. This is what I waited for months to be able to do (wait, I take that back, I've waited for a vehicle like this all my life). I cannot believe how much I love this truck, everything about it is just such a plesurable driving experience.
Anyhow, I better shut up now. So sorry everyone for the long post, but this one needed some detail.
