Talking I "raced" a truck last night...

Sorry about the long story.

So I'll setup the scenario first. I'm with my girlfriend at about 7:30pm, and we're leaving a restaurant. We get to a stoplight and she's like there's a big red spider right behind you! So I turn around and start freaking out, and I'm trying to find something to kill it with. I grab my "Club" and try stabbing at it against my seat, so I don't know If I get it or not...

So the light turns green and I'm still wondering if I killed the spider, when I hear someone rev up at me. I look over and see a 73-80 stlye Fleetside at the light waiting to make a left. So I slow down to let him catch up.

So at the next light I'm going to make a left, he gets right behind me and starts revving even more. When the light turns green I take off pretty fast to see if he'll catch up. (We turned onto a 3 lane expressway where the speed limit is like 45 mph, so it's not too bad that I'm going fast...)

He catches up so I drop it down to 2nd and we go at it for a short distance. He pulled on me good though... Now at this time of night there are still a lot of cars on this particular street so he changes a couple of lanes and get ahead of me, while I'm stuck behind some cars.

After awhile I catch back up to him and was able to get a good look at his truck. It was nice! He had like 18's all around and it was slammed. I could see from behind that he had like traction bars or something on the leaf springs, other than that it sounded pretty mean too.

So like I said I catch up and we're next to each other but just crusing, waiting for one of us to make a move, when he starts revving a little so I do it back... Then we went at it again for a little distance, again he pulled ahead on me bad, he was fast!

So after that he was going to make a left and I was going straight, so he revs up one last time and I rev back and give him the thumbs up...

Even though he was faster, I don't feel bad about it, at least it was to another Chevy right? and It sure got my adrenaline pumping, Scared my girlfriend sh!tless though
