Yeah, yeah, I know. On paper, there's not much of a contest, but it was my duty to scientifically assess reality vs. theory.
Just north of Malibu on PCH, I indicated a desire to change lanes, which in California means, "Please accelerate and cut me off so I have to wait until you pass." A Boxster S did just that with two 40ish guys chuckling to themselves about it(or was this just what my L and I wanted to believe? "I don't like you laughin', 'cause I get the crazy idea your laughin' at me."). I accelerated around the slow mover in front of me and met up with the offenders at a red, both of us in pole position. Long story short: I spun twice through the intersection, once on launch and again after feathering, then laying on the throttle at about 35. We were neck and neck for about,oh, the intersection, and then I simply blew them away. My buddy couldn't believe how fast we left them behind. I do believe they were laughin'no more.

Good kill:-)

 

YEAH! Love those kinds of kills!! They are the most satisfying in my opinion

I had a similar experience with a SLK (Kompressor) convertible, the guy was being greedy and then laughing about it. The guy was with his girlfriend and I just totally embarassed him stoplight after stoplight. At the very end he was behind me at a light and I did a big burnout blowing smoke, dirt and gravel all over his car. He deserved it.

I did the same thing to a boxster about 1/2 a year ago. Our 2 lanes merged into one, he thought he was going to get in front of me. To make a short story, well short, he didnt make it in front of me.

I ordered a new Lightning and cant wait to drive it....I hope its as much fun as my Boxster.

 

Dang, doncha just love these trucks? My favorite kind of kill, too, when some arrogant rich ahole in a beemer or a Benz thinks he is going to dump on you, and winds up getting dumped on himself, instead. I swear that one of these days I'm going to have stop by on my way to Manhattan Beach and check out your truck.

Alpha, I drive up your way just about every other weekend to Neptune's Net. Ever been there? It's just north of the Ventura county line. The Wife or a buddy and I run trails all along the Santa Monica hills (just can't call 'em mountains). Anyway, either come on down or I'll head up North. Perhaps we'll crush a few Boxters between us.

 

I stop for a bite at Neptune's Net almost every time I come back from L.A. via the coast, but that's pretty infrequent, I try to avoid L.A. if I can. Would probably be more convenient to meet up at the Cliff House or someplace near your place, since I do get down to Santa Monica and M.B. from time to time. Will be heading that way next Saturday, but my wife will be with me and I don't think she will want to stop and look at a truck. She thinks I'm nuts the way I carry on over mine. BTW, do you know who owns the silver L. that is always parked in the structure at Rosecrans and Highland?

 

I grew up in the heart of L.A, well 10-14 year old period. Left after the riots, lived at San Vicente and La Brea.

I love Versailles Cuban Restaurant. Go there everytime I am in LA for more than 6 hours...

I saw a black Lightning in Malibu when I was driving mine from Seatle to LA last March, didn't get much street action, arrived just in time for traffic headache.

Cool to know that you guys live in that area.

Nice Brimstone, nice. Sounds like a cat burying his pooh. I think we should be able to do this on all L victims.

 

Shorty-

You crack me up man!

 

rally,

OH YEAH!!!!!


Shorty,
cat burying his poo... very nice.....

 

Hell yeah man good kill.

"My favorite kind of kill, too, when some arrogant rich ahole in a beemer or a Benz thinks he is going to dump on you, and winds up getting dumped on himself, instead."


I resemble, uh, RESENT that remark. The stereotype that Benz or Beemer drivers are rich A-holes simply isn't correct. The vast majority are, in fact, rich buttholes. There are indeed a few rich A-holes out there as well. The rest are just rich, with no particular orfice affiliation. I myself proclaim loyalty to no particular orifice, and indeed count myself amongst the latter, independent element on my aforementioned list.

I must admit to an appetite for Teutonic stoplight snacks. The best opportunity was with an AMG E55 this summer, but he wouldn't go (no matter how much I played the jackass at every light). The non-AMG's aren't worth the gas to dust them. Same for the non-M BMW's.

Please try to show some sensitivity in future posts for the Benz drivers in your ranks. There are a few of us out there, most in no way resembling a sphincter (of any type).
