We went to see my g/f Deb's parents this psat saturday in Michigan.

On the trip home we were on the south east side of Toledo, OH a few miles from where I-75 turns to head south.

A POS Sonoma pickup was in the lane on the right. This thing barely ran. I was surprised it was even out on the interstate.

I was driving the Pace car. Deb & I were talking. We pulled past the Sonoma truck. The cruise was set at 70mph. So not like we were flying low or anything.

A minute or two later I hear the pickup down shift and it pulls up next to us. This guy wants to drag race. He was looking right at us and gunned his engine two maybe three times.

Deb & I were so surprised by this all we could do is laugh. We weren't laughing at the young guy driving, or his truck. Just the fact he decided he wanted to race this blue Monte Carlo next to him.

I guess us laughing made him decide to take the next exit off I-75? Or maybe he'd spotted another vehicle he wanted to race?

 

Sonoma? thsoe aren't that old of a truck are they... i'd have gunned back and let him have it

 

Yeah but you never know what people really have under the hood. Although unlikely, he could've had an LS1 transplanted under the hood. But I really doubt it.

If I was alone in the car, I probably would've gunned it. But never with a passenger.

 

With all the body rot on this truck, it had definately seen better days. But like Taz mentioned, maybe there was a killer small block under the hood? And the driver had a kill switch in the cab that cut power to 2 - 3 cylinders and that's why it sounded so bad? Once he eggs someone to race him, BAM he flips the switch and the engine starts breathing fire?

The interesting part about the trip was we neared Dayton and some guy driving a 1990s orearly 2000s Suburban now acts like he wants to race?

Maybe it was the way I was driving????????????????

 

is there a sign on your back glass saying RACE ME ?????

 

i want to drive thru Ohio in my Monte Carlo!!

NOBODY ever wants to race me on the street... either i don't look like i'm worth the trouble or people around here are smart enough to not get caught doing it....

 

When your car looks like this, you don't need a sign saying "Race Me".





I think most people who own any of the pace car editions, or the "driver editions" get challengedto races a lot.

 

so then its written all over it

 

montes just look fast. and i have yet to pull up on some one who wantedto race me at a light i guess once and older v8 lincoln kinda raced me it was pretty even but he had to turn so he had to slow down.

 

is there a sign on your back glass saying RACE ME ?????

It was the glowing neon sign on the roof that reads "Move over slow poke."
