It was a beautiful Wednesday afternoon. I had just dropped off my bro from our 3-day golf trip in Southern Cali. I was in the car all by myself (just the way I like it). He lives in Modesto about 100 miles east of Santa Clara. I usually make the trip in 1 1/2 hours. I wanted to break my world record of 1hr 15min.
I come to the windy roads and I try to get out in front of all the slow cars so that they wouldnt slow me down. So I did. I was going about 70mph through curves (two-way hwy) that were meant to be 35mph turns. Out of nowhere a Ford Contour (special edition SHC I think) pulls right in front of me.... so I waited for the right time to pass. I passed him. He kept on my ass for about 2 minutes.... he kept flashing his lights for me to move out of his way but I knew that I could push my R/T to handle the turns at a higher speed. After about 5 more curves he got smaller and smaller in my rear view...killed that ford. Of course if I had my family with me I would have never put their lives in danger but I couldn’t pass up the chance to see just how good that performance handling works.....I have to say.....I loved my car a little more that day....and I didn’t beat my record...I made it in 1hr 25min....(I got rush hr traffic next to home, damn silicon valley)
