Default So I bought a ZR1 last Friday.....

ya you heard me correct Black on Black 1990, but thats not the point of this story,

I'm cruizin on my lunch break today in Santa Barbara with the top off and some Jimi Hendrix playin. The sun is shining, I got my nike visor on :cool: and it's about 65-70deg out...nice.

This Porka Carrera weaves in and out of street traffic and finally catches up to me as I'm rolling to a stop at a light. He blurps his engine.... guess he wants to play. I looked at him smiled and gave him the warning.. :nono: His girlfriend is riding shotty and she seems excited. The Porka still had the Thousand Oaks Auto Mall stickers on it.

Well I guess he missed the sight of the 315's and the ZR1 tag cause he tried anyway :lol: .
I dumped the clutch in first at about 2500 :steering: and squirted past him faster than an oily string from a cat's @s$. To my delight I see the smile on his girl's face is gone and he has the bitter beer face on! :skep:

After a quick tap on the breaks I give the out of the roof wave and engage the go-pedal again...:steering:....


I love my ZR1 :yesnod: :yesnod: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :yesnod: :yesnod: :lolg:

Be careful dude...the mods here don't like "kill stories"

Save it for the track.
