It has been a long time since I've engaged in the stoplight gran prix, a
practice I try to avoid. But sometimes you just need to put people in their
place. I was stopped at a light in Tigger tonight, top down, enjoying the
evening. Just as the light turned green a young punk and his girlfriend in
a BMW Z3, also with the top down, came rolling up to the light at a good
clip and just floored it, leaving me in the dust. At the next light we were
side by side. I just couldn't let the opportunity pass to teach a punk to
respect his elders. We both took off when the light turned green and I was
pulling away until I let up, much to his shock. And here is the kicker:
Tigger needs a carb rebuild and is only working on 2 barrels. There is no
substitute for cubic inches.
