Out shopping for a sport utility last night, I was a little out of my neighborhood and charting unfamiliar waters; 4 lane business district with frequent lights & some mild traffic. I ran across a newer red Z28 SS with the lovely SLP "Loudmouth" exhaust. I knew that because he had a big sticker in the bag window that said "Loudmouth" and a license plate frame that said "SLP." ;-)
He is rolling along in front of me, most likely in neutral, because he was revving the car to high hell & not accelerating. So I kept close & in low gears, figuring this idiot is going to push it soon. Sure enough at the next light, he rips out of the hole like it is the 1/4. He spins like crazy, goes sideways, and nearly crushes the Tahoe in the right lane. I sat still, LOL & waited for him to hook up. He catches, I slip out, and at the top of 2nd I am pushing him up the highway. So of course, he throws a weave into the other lane to avoid traffic & gets pinned behind a bus. Again, I LOL.
Finally after a few minutes of this, he gets back ahead of me, but in the right lane. As I am creeping up the side of his car, he starts his revving again, so I throw him one while in 2nd & he gives me the look when he hears the blower spool. We catch the next light side by side, I look, he looks, light drops green, I go, he goes right. :nonono:
Thought I finally had a chance to flex some muscle on the SS, but alas he was :chicken:
