Thumbs down c240 vs. Gallardo

i know i know ...
it was actually pretty fun tho ....
i was on my way home from dropping off my girlfriend
when out of nowhere i see a black lambo on my left waiting
for the light ....
i kind of stop, give the car a quick glimpse (more like drooling)
and then take off ....
i pass 2 more lights and next thing i know this jerk is chasing me ...
of course theres other cars on the street so we play mouse and cat for a bit
making it hard for him to pass me ... then i make a right on about the
4th light and he follows ... then i notice NO cars all the way down the street
i didnt even floor it ... i knew he was going to take off ... and so he did ...
i was doing 35 and he passed me at about 70 ....
i know i had no chances against that car but it was so much fun
seeing other people react towards a c240 being chased by a gallardo ...
so yeah, i got killed

(for mere facts, this ocurrance was on Ventura blvd.
and the lambo driver apparently lives on Kester Ave. near Burbank Blvd. )

A 360 Modena was actually holding me up the other night. I'm driving at night top down, and I hear this faint burbling whine, so begin to think maybe something was wrong with my cooling fan. As I keep going, I come close to the gray 360 chugging along, going 20 mph slower than me. At low engine speeds, these cars sound like something is wrong with them. But when they reach the upper echelons of the power band...music.
