Took on a corvette saturday...
Was taking my son to the motorcycle shop Saturday afternoon to get his dirt bike tire fixed. At the first light pulled up behind a new yellow Corvette in the left turn lane. License plate frame said something like 'Sorry officer, put it on my tab". Green arrow he takes off and I follow behind. He's checking me out in his mirror. Next light we both turn right. He stomps on it and loses me and I don't bother with him. But he gets another red light about a mile further up where an extra lane opens up beside him, so I pull up along side. Some gray-haired guy in his 50s or so. He obviously wants to show off what his fancy new car can do and spank my yellow 914. Well the light turns green, I start in 2nd like usual and let her rip. He's doing the same. I hit every gear perfect and was pulling ahead of him! My son said he looked pissed and shocked at the same time. Then he brakes hard and pulls off into a supermarket parking lot, like "i meant to do that'. Basically I think he was embarassed that an old Porsche 914 with a passenger was outrunning his expensive fancy sports car. Hopefully I ruined his day!
