In a recent youtubing "random" search i tend to like to do when my friends and i are hanging out and have the opportunity to be "Keyboard Master" i searched "beebs" in an effort to find someone randomly and repetitively babbling the word Bewbs (which i later noticed i typed incorrectly). ANYWAYS.... it lend to click on a music video of Beebs and her money makers. Ska genre which im a fan of. After listening to it i quickly popped out my phone, went to music and store searched for that artist name. A few clicks later i was downloading one of their albums onto my phone for a later listen-to-while driving. Well one morning i did just that on the drive into work. The first song that played was just a perfect start to my morning "pump-up" for the day ahead.
On a side Story:
I daily my 97 Vw golf gti. its slammed on cheap, already fucked coils, has a few upgraded components (i.e. flywheel, clutch, motor mounts, bushings, shift linkage, loud exhaust cause all the stock parts fell apart or off) and to top it off a decommissioned Pineapple grenade that i welded shut re-tapped and stuck on my gear stick(manual transmission).
Tonight on my way home from a store meeting, i cruised with what i now identified as a Q37 Infiniti Sedan. Now i was in really no "racing" mood other than jamming out to the band mentioned above and getting home. This car was out in front of me and at one point on a double lane stretch i got out in front of it. Later as that stretch was coming back to single lane it proceeded to get up along side of me. I'm still jamming away in my car. I see it and think "Oh this guy just wants to cruise". I could of banged down 2 gears into 3rd (I was doing 45-50mph at that time in 5th), but i didn't. It kept with me right as the merge lane was right on top of me.
I let it go ahead. So as this road goes down to a single lane the speed limit increases but what does this car do.... slows down. I found that really odd. I mean why would someone do that?! From the average experience people would generally continue at the same speed if not more at this time of night, on this stretch of road and given conditions including vehicle type. So i start thinking. We get to where im about to hang a left and get off the "main" road that goes through my small town to avoid the construction as I always do. But this time i flick on the turn signal WAYYY ahead of time to see what this infiniti does. It does that same. We take the turn.
Now this stretch we are on is about a two long before my next turn, it has a mile straight followed by a decent set of 3-4 turns all in the shape of an S. Its one of my favorite stretches of road outside of my small rural town. Whenever i have the chance i always hit it hard with all my cars, so obviously i know how fast and capable each of my rides can take it. The Vdub can do a decent 75-80 mph on dry warmish conditions no problem. I was planning on over-taking the Infiniti on the straight and owning on the S's taking the approaching left and booking it home in hopes it wouldnt be able to follow, cause shit was starting to fell shady cause this was abnormal behavior for around my area, at this time of night. i mean i live in a small town and its 8/9pm in the middle of the week. Unfortantely in front of the infiniti was now a truck and i felt it was unsafe to try and make the pass, to i followed. Got a little aggressive in the S's but nothing to great cause the truck was doing about the average people's 30-35 through them. Approach the next left i have to take to get into town; do the same as before, signal ahead of time. It sees does the same, makes the turn....
Now it really slows to a crawl pulls into the oncoming lane. Theres never traffic on this road at this time of night. Its a straight but has a large dip/dive/valley 5 mile long back road with a sharp left turn at the end of it which then has a t intersection less than 100ft following the sharp left where i take a right into town and get home. I realize whats up now. This guy wants a race.... odd my car may be a little blacked out and Eurotuner looking but its nothing special other than the loud exhaust. But BET! Lets do this. Get side by side on a roll and Punch it. Slammin gears and damn near redlining. No fucks given, all or nothing.
To my amazment this fucker doesnt blow my doors off. Come on, 3.7l V6 against a 2.0l 4 banger. It should of had me. I pull this guy in 3rd i believe doing somewhere between 60-80. I keep on it all the while past 4th doing well over 100mph. Keep in mind suspension is shitty and nobody in their right mind would drive my car at those speeds.... yet I dont give no fucks and will so at 100 it can get sketchy. Right then i was on top of the valley. I look back and i can see headlights in the distance, slow it down a bit for the way back up this valley for the approaching sharp curve. And just bolt it the rest of the way back home just in case so i dont have any followers for any reason. Ive raced this car before and both have lost and won but nothing ever like it. Pretty neat experience i guess. Will have to keep my eyes out for that car again cause im sure ill see it somewhere again.
