Cruising up the local two-lane, I see the quad headlights of a Mustang pulling up slowly behind me. I'm praying for a red light, and am rewarded. I move over to the next lane, and the 'Stang lines up beside me. I look over, and see a middle-aged couple, wifey in the passenger seat, smiling, as if she knows what's going to happen. It's got a GT label, so unless he's modded, I know I'll win...
I put it in manual mode, because I don't know if he's going to really go or not. Light goes verde, and he lets his clutch out slowly, then mashes it! I put the hammer down, and by the top of second gear, I'm four car lengths in front!
We pull to the next light, and put my window down, they pull up and he exclaims, "Wow! That thing is fast!" I thank him for the complement, and ask him what year his car was. He replies it is a 2010.
He commented on my license plate, LAST NDN, and even understood that it referenced Pontiac, but asked if it was because my car was a GTO! LOLOL. I informed him it was a G8 GXP, but he had absolutely no clue. Hoping he went home and looked it up...
