Today my Mustang is officially one week old.

The last three days north bound on 55 highway I have had this green and black Honda Civic come up from way back and pass me like I am standing still. Then this guy turns around in his seat and looks back at me like he has actually done something. I can imagine what he tells his friends, how he smoked a GT Mustang on the interstate.

Now let me describe this car for you. It has a high rear spoiler, a chin spoiler, racing stripes and a coffee can exhaust pipe. Chinese lettering stickers all over the side that I can only imagine what they mean.

So this morning I am running late and this “Vanilla Ice” wannabe pulls up on my back bumper on a 9 mile stretch of two lane. The areas to pass are very limited on 306 highway. Well I am pissed to say the least at this guy following me so close, so when he pulls out to pass, I down-shift and match his speed. He has it to the floor and his engine sounds like a weed eater. We come to the hills and curves and he has to brake and pull back in behind me. I get him like this a total of six times before we make it to the interstate.

He is really pissed now, yelling and flashing these white homeboy gang signs. He tries to pass me on the single lane on ramp, and at this point I have had enough. So I do what Mustangs do best, I hit third gear and just hyperspace on him. I look at the rear view to check my progress and he has pulled over to the shoulder and has white smoke bellowing from under his hood.

My Mustang has killed her first ricer. Then I notice a spooky laugh surrounding the inside of the car. Images of the movie Christine come to mind. But it was just Ron White on Blue Collar channel on my satellite radio. Aint these GT Mustangs sweet.

Do As I Say, Not As I Do!!!

Now wasn't it just a few days ago that I read something about letting a yougnster start saving for their first GT?

And here we have a guy going through a mid life crisis and doing some of the same things he was worried about his own sibling doing.

On a serious note glad you got a kill especially on a wind up Tonka toy.

Just be careful and watch out for those guys with the red & blues. Don't want to have you posting from inside a jail cell.

I am in Mississippi. The local Highway Patrol does not have anything that high tech. The best thing to do here is just not to mess up like I did the other day. You cant beat them here. I was fortunant not to get caught, but this guy just pushed me to the point I had to react. One advantage to living in the south is most all HP's would have listened to my story, agreed with me, and let me go.

Rerun you only quoted where I was giving him a hard time. It was all in sarcasism. You should have quoted the rest which to me clears up the jest.

However if my jesting offened Mr. APowers I am apologize. I was just trying to add some more humor to the thread.

Several years ago one of my stepdaughters "frends" showed up at the house to show off her new tattoo. Kid had just graduated from high school and got what was supposedly her name in Chinese letters across her lower back at the waistline. Neither my wife nor I liked this kid much or the fact that stepdaughter was hanging around with her. Wife said with a wink, "you've been stationed in the far-east, what do those letters mean?" After a long careful look as if on que, I said, "let me put this as nicely as possible. They either mean that she is not very particular with whom she sleeps or that she is one who frequents brothels."
You should have seen the look on the kid's face. I didn't have a clue what the letters meant.

You're right, that wasn't very fair of me to do that. Now I extend my appologies to you.

No hard feelings boss,

LOL
My stepdaughter came home with a tattoo on her backside shortly after she turned 18. It was a butterfly with a rebel flag. I just shook my head and hoped somebody would one day tell her that it could mean more than just one thing.

No offence taken. Driving a new 2007 GT Mustang, not a lot of anger here, life is pretty sweet for me right now. I thought your comments were kinda funny, I didnt get offended at all. Did I mention that food taste better and sex is better when you own a Mustang? Just checking.

when a ricer starts messing around i love killing them without hesitation. but what really jus gets me flat out pissed off is when they drive like the kid u described in a dangerous arrogant way. thats what makes me wanna smoke them and then follow them to wherever they are an proceed to beat them severely. good job smoking the kid, hopefully his engine seized and now he wont be riding around like such an ******* anymore. he clearly belongs riding a bus anyways.
