Houndog: I gotcha by almost 2 years(07/12/39)

I've told this story at least once before on this BB so forgive me for repeating it.

I had just bot my 01L the week before and was driving home from north Macon. I was on I-75 and cruisin' at 65 mph(speed limit is 55 mph ). I had installed a CB--mounted on a bracket on the hump--bolted to the console bolt with a quick-disconnect antenna on the front bed rail.

Two gravel haulers were coming up behind me and catching me. I heard the first one say "Hey lookit that Lightnin! Thas one of them fast trucks". And they continued on telling what they knew about it while I just listened(kinda like 'lurkin'' here).

In a few minutes, the first one caught and passed me while the second one lagged behind by about a mile. The first driver say's " Aw *****, it's jus a grey-haired ol' fart!". Weeeellllllllllllll, I wasn't gonna let that just hang there in the air unanswered.

I waited for a few seconds and the traffic cleared and I matted it! It was still stock and had maybe 300 miles on it if that much. I held it at WOT and did my first 'ricer-flyby'. I took her up to a 100 mph and then got out of it.

I keyed my mic and said "How's that for a grey-haired ol' fart?" You should have heard that first driver----he started laughing so hard and saying "*****--lookit that!" The second driver said "What'd he say?" The first driver repeated my question and then they both broke up.

I criused on home like the good 'boy' that I am............

Dan

I figure I'm about 30 years from being 'work-free'. You "more mature" gentlemen renew my faith in not aging gracefully. Here's to you!

You guys just made my day. At 42 I often wonder if the need for speed will ever leave my blood. Dam it's good to know I still got a good 20 or 25 years of SVT-ing ahead of me. And Great story LIGHTNINROD, but why stop at a hundred . My first WOT major blast was right up to 140 where they said it would go (I had to make sure Iwas getting my money's worth ) The best part was when it was over I realized I had the window open with one arm hanging out, the other smoking a butt, had the music blasting, and GOD DAM WAS IT COMFORTABLE THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH.
