Number 2 was a NBM C6 Z06 , so I was a goner anyway ! :lol:

I was going to go to the gas station, and turned on a street leading to the feeder street where the gas station was. ( 43rd to the 290 West bound, if you are in Houston or know the area.)

I look in the rearview mirror, and see a NBM C6 w/ a hood scoop – Z06.
We are stopped to let some traffic in to the Luby's parking lot before the feeder street , and I am thinking "Don't go straight ! Turn right w/ me ! " :p

The light turns green, and sure enough ,he turns right with me, onto the feeder. I am in the inside lane whereas he takes the outside lane of a 3 lane street.

I gun it, and the car immediatelystarts spinning. Then, the TC kicks in, and on her nose she falls !:(

Meanwhile, I hear this sound like a Nascar racer ( windows are down ) and this blue Z06 goes screaming buy, looking & sounding completely bad azz !

I never had a chance. And, I got stuck at the next light (Antoine) while he went straight , so I never had a chance to give a thumbs up, either. :)

Best death(s) I have had in a while. :D But, I could have lived w/ just one at a time.

I just did not expect it to come into play , and certainly not when I was hoping to only lose by 10 car lengths :p , not 20 ! The weather here is perfect today ! :bow: - around 85 , and low ( especially for Houston ! humidity at roughly 30%.)


Oh, well - just having the opportunity to play w/ one was an experience. :)
