I did the rounds last night, went up to Strats, a boat load of kids and a boat load of cops. As I pulled out to turn right a car did a u-turn and got real close so I goosed the throttle to get away from him and then got off of it to get into the left turn lane.
One of the many cops immediately pulled out and got behind me so I thought ok, first ticket for exhibition of speed, perfect. We sat at the light, I could see him running my plate and look right at me, the light turned green and I turned left and he turned around and headed back to Strats, whew. Clean record, old fart, cop decides against pulling me over.
I don't think I'm going back though, these kids are different than the last bunch that hung out there in 2000-2009. These kids make fun of the car as it goes by, they taunt and it's so dark you can't tell which person said it. Plus, all they do is sit there, nobody walking around checking out the cars, like zombies. I had hoped to have some good conversations about their cars... when I was their age we loved it when the old farts came out with their cars.
So I decided to head out North West and found another group of kids, similar situation only this time as I was leaving one of them in a very loud 2013 or so Coyote decided to come after me, I wasn't going to race but that didn't matter, he pulled out and did a ricer fly by, I thought only ricers did those, nope.
So no go on trying to figure out where like minded car people are hanging out these days. One note, on the way home while alone I thought I'd see how the car would do now that it's more broke in, turned off traction control, put her into drag mode and nailed the gas, it smoked the tires in 1st, 2nd and 3rd fish tailing the whole way. It was like driving my Supercharged Mustang without the blower! :eyebulge:
Lesson learned, BUY TIRES!
I also drove it to work, so far on this tank before the fish tailing I was averaging 27.8 mpg, friggin awesome.
