Driving back from Livermore (never going there again, bunch of idiots who dont know what the fuck is going on), I merge onto the 680 as I notice HIDs coming up fast. Its a BMW....540 I think, new model, I get beside it and gun it, passing him up to see if he would bite. I slow downt o match his speed as he floors it. We are off, 680 4 clear lanes in the middle of the nite, its awesome as we are just thrashing it thru all the gears. To my surprise, I an accelerating past it without as much as breaking a sweat.
We play around for about 2 mins when I see a pair of brakelites up ahead. I see the BMW slow down, so I stomp on the brake as well (thinking maybe he spotted a cop). To my surprise, as we get up to this pair of brake lights, its a early 90's model porsche, and looks pretty decked out. What a sweet site, damn I love the lines on that porsche.
The porsche realizes what we are up to and immediately downshifts, letting us hear the tone of his inline 6. Very sweet indeed. This is a dream come true for me, as the 680 freeway looks completely deserted for about 2 miles up ahead on the straightaway. We line up, Porsche in the left lane, Mustang in the middle lane, and BMW in the right lane.
We take off almost at the same time...from 80 mph. All the engines roaring and the lights gleaming off of perfect paint jobs on the cars, I felt like I was in the playstation game, Gran Turismo. The BMW gets left after about 110, so its me and the Porsche gunning it. 120, and he has a 1 car lead on me....but as I shift up to 5th gear after almost redlining 4th at 130mph, I start to pull on this guy, I dont know if he got scared and didnt wana run after 130 or not..but I gained and passed him up. I slow down as all the cars do the same, the BMW takes and exit, and the porsche comes up to me and smiles at me...
I nod at him and take off into the sunset going back home.
