Evo VIII kill...

I got a white one tonight goin' west on I10. Got next to him and went for it. At first i revved at him, he didn't bite. So i paced him for a few seconds. Still nothing. I just made a quick downshift and got a couple bus lengths on him to show i had something for him. So we're coming up to the 101 N and about 1/2 mile before the onramp to the 101 we went for it. This time i knew he was going for it so i downshifted from 5th to 3rd (yes...from 5th to 3rd) and immediately stopped his pull and reeled him in. Shifted to 4th, and passed him easily. I heard him give up once we got closer to the onramp. So now we're going N on the 101 and he stays back for quite a while. I slow down a bit to let him catch up but i guess for some reason he didn't want to get side by side. Few miles go by and i see him coming up (I was fully expecting the ricer fly-by) i give him a thumbs up as he goes by me slowly but he doesnt acknowledge it and keeps going. i exit and head home.

My weekend warriors' first kill for this weekend :)

hehe... good run.

It's a holiday weekend folks, lets behave out there. Cops will be out in force cracking down on drunk drivers...

Be safe.

You need to call me before you go out and do this stuff, Brandon. We need this shit on video.

Nice kill.

i love how kill stories always end up soundin like a fishing analogy.

hah, niice kill mang!

hah, niice kill mang!
um, you mean "ming", right?

lol. nice kill dude

lol, yeah i can see how it sounds like fishing

bulldog: its to hot to take out for very long so i just take it out once a week to keep the engine bearings with a fresh coat of oil on them. It does not........like hot weather at all but it was cooler out tonight than most so i went ahead and got on the highway for a bit, that's when all this went down.

Fun stuff! But you are lucky that you didn't get busted tonight, there were a TON of cops on the 101...

Really? on the 101? I didn't see any at all. If there were i think they may have been further north like around Bell Rd. Where there's ALOT of street racers and such. But then again i was only on it for a couple of miles heh.

Ahh, that makes sense then.

You know what that means right...time to buy a Chevy. ;)

Oh its a 331 H/C/I combo. A little to much for a stock Evo ;) but anyway it was cool. There have been like 4 other evos' that i've beat in the past few months and every single one has done the fly-by. This dude actually didn't which really surprised me. He had dark tinted windows, i could barely seen him. But he was looking at me when i gave him a thumbs up, he just looked over. Sped up a bit and kept on going while i exited.

Nice Brandon. I see you have finally learned to allow yourself to downshift that thing. :p But then again, weren't you still breaking it in when we raced the SRT-10?

If I weren't so damned busy with a new baby, I'd hit ya up for a ride. :)

once. i feel alseep in the back of a van. a white minivan. i woke up because it was so hot, my sweat, dripped into my eyes. apparently i was asleep for an hour or so. it stung though. sweat in the eyeballs sucks. trust me?

anywyas, the morallllllllll of this story is to not fall asleep in a minivan for an hour. if its hot. othwerwise you mught get sweat in your eyes.

ROFL, damn dude. I've had hijacked threads before but, this......this is something else i've never seen before. LOL

^^ OK????????(Edit: not 90redgt's post the one above him, his post wasnt visible before I posted) roflmao!


Good kill. The Evo's are no slouch. And whats this I hear about a SRT-10?? Was it the Viper or the very unpractical truck?

damn bro, didn't know you had a new baby. congrats! The srt-10 race, yeah i was kinda still breakin' it in. But that wasn't the reason i didn't downshift. I was just to excited to actually be racing a truck that had a viper engine and a truck that had only been out for a few months lol. I was like, "whoaaaa", and didn't realize my rpms' were so low lol.

No it was the truck, right when they first came out. They had only been out for like a couple months and we (carnut and I) happen to run into a silver one that night. WOW that thing was awsome. I could've beaten him if we kept going cause i was inching on him every time we stomped the gas pedal but they stopped early, probably cause they saw us coming up on them slowly but surely hehehe. Carnut made a thread about it, probably archived now though. it was a couple years ago, even before i went to iraq.
