I tried to post this earlier, but the #### net was down.
So yesterday, I headed down to Payson, AZ, to check out the Motorcycle junkyard. I took my friend Nych, who's a great guy and all, but CAN'T STAND SPEED or other common manuevers known to racing fans. On the way to Sedona, I'm downshifting and passing on this curvy canyon road, and he about shits a brick. So anyway, we end up getting to the junkyard without him being too pissed at me.
On the way back on the 17, I'm heading up to Flag, and there's this white 93ish Ford Ranger with 16 or 17 inch rims. (GOD DAMMIT MY HAMSTER JUST BIT MY TOE! NOW I'M FRICKIN BLEEDING!)
Anyway, I've seen this guy around town. He's got the lowering kit on his Ranger, clear taillight lenses, billet grill, etc. etc. The truck actually looks semi-decent as far as mini trucks go. So with all that work on the "show" part, I'd figure it has some "go".
So it's going pretty fast up to Flagstaff. I think to myself "screw Nych and his wiener like attitude when it comes to racing" and floor it. I passed him like he was standing still, going uphill. And after I'd left him in the dust by doing 105 or whatever the top speed is, basically pegging the needle and holding the gas anyway, I'd watch him in the rear view, see him coming up fast, floor it back up to pegging the needle and watch him get smaller. Then I'd let him pass me, and blow by him again. I must have buried the needle at least 8 or 9 times yesterday.
And this Ford Ranger, which is lower (better wind resistance), had a tonneau cover (hard) on his bed, giving much better wind resistance, can't beat my truck with me and Nych, an open bed with the tailgate up, much less with studded snow tires.
I have wanted to toast that guy for the longest time. Always though he had a bigger 6 in it. Guess not. Heee hee hee heee. I might go say hi to the guy. I think he still lives on campus, but I'm going to have to find out if he's invested any money into "go".
