Buck531 Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Not a kill story. Turning left onto Sancus from Polaris to go to work, this vr-4 rolls up next to me. Temp tags on it. Red. nice lookin' car. Well, he gets a few cars a head and then slows down. Ok? I just keep cruising next to him.. slightly by him. He then gives it a little throttle and i hear the turbo(s)? start to spool. Well, my turn it about 100 yards in front and I look over and put my hand up and wave. Then.. as I'm putting on my right turn signal and slow down.. the dude keeps slowing down with me (obviously thinking we're gonna go). And I look over and point to the right like I have to turn. He in turns gives me a wave and takes off. Now, My Lumina "might" beat a few cars out there. A VR-4 IS NOT one of them. He would have instantly pulled so hard that I would have been left back in November 5th, 1955. Oh well.. just figured i'd post and ramble. Hardly ANYONE with that nature of a car decides he wants to race. He must have heard the exhaust and probably thought I had a blower graemlins/popcorn.gif . I wish I did though. graemlins/grin2.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcan900 Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 That was me, I recognized your car, and I have met you, along time ago at China first. Hence the reason I was really trying to get you to run a little. I realized your turn was coming up the first time you waved I just wanted to make sure you saw me wave back before I headed off.
