Ok, so Im headed home for lunch last night, and here is a classic ewok. At first I thought it was a supra, from the wing and taillights.... double stack wing, big ground effects (no i mean big!) fart pipe, tach, and Y E L L O W....
Its an eclipse, so I drop down into 4th and pull up on the right, the passenger looks over with an aproving nod, then sees the gauge pod on the a-pillar and tags the driver on the arm. He downshifts and accelerates slightly (i take note of no blowoff or whine and conclude he is soooooo toast). I tuck in behind him, not crowding him, about two carlengths back.... After a min or so he gets tired of tailgating the minivan in front of him and grabs the middle lane and gets on it. I let him run, casually look over my sholder, put on my signal, change lanes, ..... downshift to third and stick my foot in the radiator.

well a few seconds later (he was out about 5-6 carlengths) as I shift into 4th, I go by him like he's driving with the e-brake on....

poor little eclipse, left home with only half a motor and no hair dryer to feed it.

My thanks to the chancelor for giving us exclusive use of the autobahn for the evening.

DD-


PS thanks again to Jeff(x2) for getting my ride done so quick.

I have done it, I used to do it a lot. Then I realized how stupid it was and how it was not at all worth the risks you take when you do street race.

You could potentially lose your license, or in the worst case your life, or take that of someone else. It's just not worth it.

Get it out on the track, that's what it's there for.
