Sitting at a light...
...this evening, minding my business. I see approaching in my rear view something huge and yellow. It pulls along side me. It's too tall and I'm too low so I can't see the driver, but it's a big 'ole late model Charger with dealer black accent stripes down the side and black after market wheels. He blips the throttle a few times and at the green light, he barrels on to the next light a block away. Sounds like a after market exhaust.
As I drive to the next light I can see he has dual wide black stripes running from the rear window down to the rear bumper. I pull along side him again. The Charger is immense! He blips the throttle a couple of times again, hard.
As I leave him at the light, and falling behind rapidly, I notice he has dual wide black stripes on the hood as well. I think he wishes he now owned a C5.
Beleive me, this was no race. Just another Texas Saturday evening...

Had it for twenty years and sold it to buy the vette. No regrets though

Would have been even better if the race were at a track. Too many things can go wrong in a street race.
