As I was passing through the McDonnalds Drive thru last night with my girlfriend, this big burley guy in a big nasty dump truck started hooting and howling at us. He yelled that my Stang was all bite and no bark said he'd beat me in his old stock smoking Vega. He then got out of the cab and approached us. He said if he didn't have a full load of tar in the bed, he beat me with the truck. My girlfriend an I decided to have some fun. I said okay, I will compensate you for the load. I will give you 4 blocks head start in a six block race. He then said, "thats all I get for my big load?" I said "Yup," and said "If I win, I get your helmet." He then retorted "Yeah, you want my helmet," smiling. "But what if I win, what do I get in return?" he said with a menacning grin. I instantly knew what he was intimating and said "If you can catch it, you can have it." His eyes lit up and he said, and your cute little friend, too? Karen then yelled out "Hell, yes!"You want me, too, then catch us!" I then asked if he was ready. Again his eyes lit up and he said "dam right, I never been so dang ready in all my life, lets run um!"
We drove to the Long Island Expressway access road. I spoted him the 4 blocks. Now the only problem was figuring out how to start the race fairly since there was 4 blocks between us. Karen decided to drop her red scarf and that would signify the start.
The race went off perfectly from the dig. As he popped the clutch, the big wheels jerked and the stack bellowed with black smoke. It was funny. This guy was really trying to win. I easily made up ground as though he were standing still. I passed him with a 1/2 block to spare laughing hysterically. I looked in the mirror and he was gritting his teeth and looked real mad. I got scared, spun my Stang around and floored it. I was concerned about Karen. She was jumping up and down, but she didn't know that the guy just blew his stack. But the dump truck was come on too. She saw that and jumped through the window and I speed off.
It was an interesting race. But do anyone of you guys think it was a come on?
Please advise
