Run in with a Lightning

This wasn't really a race but here we go.I was out cruising the highway one Friday night down here in Miami and I had hit about 90-95 and all of a sudden I see what appeared to be a truck gaining on me in my rear view mirror. Afraid of it being some sort of law enforcement officer I slowed down to about 65-70. This guy pulls up next to me and passes me and I see the "SVT badge on his torch red Ford Lightning. This just got me pumped. I downshifted into 4th from 5th and I caught up to him and we were just really punching it and just passing each other back and forth. He finally exited the highway and we exchanged the "thumbs up" and that was it. I found it pretty fun especially when we exchanged the thumbs up after we were done running around.

Sounded like fun.

I've had a similar type thing with 3 cars on my trip from Maryland to Buffalo, NY. Made the road trip fun, especially since the other cars almost went the entire distance of our road trip. Definitely a blast.

Yeah. Sadly not really a race but next time for sure. There was a bit too much traffic to actually race without cutting lanes in and out.

Good job on not being stupid by racing in traffic

When you do get to race him it oughtta be good. Lightnings are nice
