So a couple of days ago I hook up my Kendon 1-bike folding trailer (300lb) to the L to check everything out on the new truck/hitch. I load up my 650lb Moto Guzzi Jackal onto the trailer and go head out around the neighborhood. Everything seems fine. OK, time to head back. I pull up to a light. Some kid in a recent model Eclipse GT pulls up alongside and revs his engine. I laugh. He revs again. I ignore him. Then the light turns and he's pacing me up to about 20mph. Ok, junior, enough is enough. I get on it hard and hear him downshift. Blower spools up and WHOOOSH!! A few seconds later I'm up to 75 and he's about two car lengths back. I back off and he gives me the ricer rev as he blows past. Heheheheh....

Sometimes I just LOVE this truck!

 

i could probably be towing my boat and still beat an eclypse gt. LOL

 

LOL shure it wasnt him driveing .....?

 

That's hilarious.

Hey, you're from Lemont. What night do they have their cruise night? Do you ever go?

 

I was next to a little red eclipse convertable that was zipping around really dangerous. It was some punk in a tie, and a cell phone. hah.
A red trans am pulled on the other side of him, but I didn't hear it... the eclipse reved, and almost immediately is was drowned out by the Zam's roar. The light turned and both took off, so I followed... soon, it was me looking right at the grey-haired man in the transam. I kid you not when I say this guy looked 70. He looked like he was laughing his **** off... he gave a glance back to the eclipse that was a long way behind us and gave me the thumbs up. I gave him the thumbs up, and he sped off ahead. I stayed the speed limit, and the idiot in the Spyder sped past me, looking at me like he won because he caught up to me.
Haha.... I hate eclipses, almost as much as I hate Mustangs (sorry, old Camaro loyalist)

 

Yep, I live at the top of the hill on the other side of the valley (109th St). I think cruise nights begin down there on Memorial day. If I remember right it's on wednesdays. (?) I go down there to look around, but my truck is too new to show. They won't let it on to the strip. I have a good buddy at work who has a nice flamed 55 Chevy set up 50's drag style and around 400 rwhp. He does the cruise-ins.
