........and that's why I bought a Turbo.
Beautiful Nebraska evening, cruisin' back to The Amazing Arthur World Headquarters, when a most awful sound fills my ears.
The unmistakable sound of rice............modified rice. There it is. A new style Toyota MR2 Spyder Convertible (actually a pretty neat car). Complete with the giant coffee can exhaust (not so neat) and the blonde girlfriend (looked very neat). This guy really wants to run me, revving and rolling forward and back. I'm sure he pegs me for a standard PT.
Pray for the red light and yes...... there it is.
Side by side. Give him a few revs, to let him know I'm with him, drop it into Autostick and wait for it.........green light....off we go..tires screeching.....side by side through 1st, going into 2nd (I love that wooosh sound) Toyota-boy gets to see Borla twice pipes.
That was fun.
We were side by side until about 35ish mph (I'm guessing).
Now before you start posting about how stupid it is to race. It was a totally empty highway. There wasn't anyone/thing around us and it was all over by 55mph anyway.
And the point of the story?
That is why I bought the Turbo!
Don't worry boys I had my tupperware with me. I have leftover rice if you're in town.
BTW, if you are a law enforcement official. None of this ever happened and this was completely made up.
Otherwise, that was a fun race.
