Lookin for Trouble

I shined up the C32 today and after dinner, decided to go out trolling for trouble, lol. I drove down thru town just looking for somebody to play with. Tough night. I found a V6 mustang and a loud V8 chevy pickup early on. Neither worth the time to fool around with. I found a white Mustang GT (circa 2000) but he turned off before I could catch up to him. Finally, I was about to give up and go home when a Orange new Dodge Challenger Hemi R/T caught up to me. Now that is more like it. I followed along, hoping to catch a light with him. We had one chance but the light was too slow to change. We were both stuck in too much traffic ahead of us. Then before any shenannigans could be started, the Challenger turned left and disappeared. Arrrrg.

I crusied back to run my one legitimate errand before heading for homebase. As I came down the blvd, I caught up to a bright red, new Mustang GT. These are easy meat for the C32 having busted one a few weeks ago, but, hey I was getting desperate, lol. The light changed up ahead with both of us side by side at the front. This was looking good. I looked over at the driver who was eyeballing my AMG. Anticipating the light change, I looked left and right for any traffic, or other dangerous obstacles. It was then that I spotted a deal killer. Two local city COP's parked at the corner gas station with one out of his cruiser talking to the other, and both staring a hole thru the two red cars lined up at the light. It would have made a great, "Dukes of Hazard" moment if we had both burned rubber off the line, but I guess neither of us are redneck enough

Well, I gave up and slinked back home to wait for another day. Probably just as well. I need to get to the track really bad.

It seems that when your looking for a challenge you don't have a run in. It usually comes unexpected.

I never get chances for trouble alone. It only happens with the lady in the car.... and most of the time she is not game

You have what I call a CBBSCD (Carbon Based Biological Speed Control Device). I am always trying to deactivate mine, but it's a bit like our ESP... you can turn it off, but it is never really OFF!

Aint that the truth. The worst kinds of CBBSCDs are the ones with two X chromosomes.
