A tale from the strip.......

[light'balt]

Hope you like it.....

It was late around midnight, I was sitting in my chair watching the speed channel. Sitting there I get the urge for a snack. I call to the wife who’s upstairs and asks if she would like a shake and some chili cheese fries. We hop into the little Cobalt and head to the Steak n Shake.

So after grabbing a couple of shakes and chilicheese fries we head back down our local hiway on our way home. The windows are down, the air is crisp and not a soul on the roads. After awhile I see an M3 and give it a slow pass and admire the BMW design, the driver didn't take notice so I continued. Up ahead in front is a little Sentra who liked driving in the fast lane, so I make a pass to his right. I guess he didn’t like that, I hear him accelerate, with a grin I just depress my gas pedal. Then I caught a glimpse in my rear view, the Beemers head lights lift a little and gives me chase. Hmmm………… nobody ahead but the stop light I’ll slow a little and see if I can catch the red. Meanwhile the Sentra is attempting a flyby, but he doesn’t make it, caught by the red light, failed again.

So here we are, I'm in the center lane and the beemer takes the right, and a little Sentra to the left. The BMW revs his engine a little to get my attention. I don't rev, just give a nod and a smile. The just wife just ducks in her seat and shakes her head. Then out of nowhere I see this guy in a tight black T-shirt and a bald head walk into the intersection carrying a crate. He sets it down and stands on it. WTF??? When we see the yellow he points to our cars and raises his hands, the BMW revs up, I bring it to about 1500 and wait for the green.

I could swear I heard the light click green just as this dude dropped his hands and, screeeeechhhhh, we all take off, me and the BMW side by side through first, the Sentra still wondering what that guy was doing standing on top of the crate.

The BMW and I shift to second about the same time and I pull just a little, 40, 50, 60, the supercharger is screaming over the sound of the BMW. Then I hear him shifts to third, as soon as I heard that shift I knew I had him. My car kept pulling while the M3 had to coast for that brief moment he shifted, by then he sat at my rear bumper. I speed shift to third and bye bye M3. woohoooo.........

There was a gas station up ahead so I pull in. I wait to see what the BMW driver will do. He rolls up next to me. Just then that weird dude with the crate steps out from between the gas pumps.

“Where the hell did you come from?” I asked

“ Been here the whole time” He sez

He looks over at the BMW driver and asks “So on that last race, do you think your BMW was outperformed by the Cobalt?”

The BMW driver looks over at him and simply gives his reply in sign language. He then looks to me and switches his sign to a thumbs up.

I reply in kind.

Then that crazy bald guy grabbed my shoulder and with a jolt I’m back in my chair at home and I see my wife…….. “You coming to bed?”

“Huh? Wha? ..Oh yeah” I reply

“You gotta stop watching these shows it makes you jumpy”

Just before I click off the TV I hear “LET EM ROLLLLLLLL”

If I were to put it in a cliff notes version, I did beat an M3 from a dig by 2 cars, he gave me a thumbs up afterwards, just take away the special guest appearence of Rich Christensen........
