Twin Cities Cruise-in?

When is the next twin cities cruis-in in Bloomington going to be?

First Kill with the new ride..

This is str8ridin from CII...

Well, I've always liked IS300's..especailly when they came out with the 5-speeds. My hate for them started when I lost twice to the 5-speeds against my Maxima Auto..

Redemption begins.

Enter the scene: My 430 Benz. Leaving Chicago on LS south, taking it easy around the potholes and what-not, the car I used to admire pulls up next to me at one of the last few remaining lights next to the lake. I pretensiously keep looking ahead at the light and act like I don't notice this nice Lexus, but as the light turns green, I coulnd't help look as he chirped his rear tires and launched forward. So I got on it and caught up to him at the next light. We exchanged nods and smiles and then focused at the red light. I coyly turned the traction control off (damn Automatic) and waited for the light. He was holding his revs while I just kept my foot on the brake. The light then turned green, we both spin the rear tires, my 255/35 18's catch and we both launch. He inched ahead of up unitl 30 mph, then I proceeded to slingshot by him.

The last light before the highway starts catches us with a red. So we scrub off the speed and start again. Same story again.

But it got better after that. We were both headed south on the highway, and every open opportunity we got, both of us got on it and I kept embarrassing him over and over again. I love V8's...

Ah, it just feels good to finally beat a car over and over that has always beat me in the past.



Thanks for letting me share.
