 |  Squids in Cars?
So it is official: I was riding to work when I was stopped by a stoplight. I clicked her into neutral and sat back on the bike watching the traffic. I hear a powerful sounding engine coming up on my right, I turn and see a brand new black Ferrari. I couldn't tell you what type it was because it stopped further behind me instead of pulling up to the line. The lights began to change for the cross traffic, and I clicked it back into first. The guy next to me creeped up to the line and reved his engine a bit, but not enough to signal a challenge. I was late for work, so I gave it a bit more juice than normal as soon as the light changed. The guy next to me stayed even with me through the first part of the intersection. Sensing that he wanted to drag, I backed off on the trottle-partly because I'm not sure how my 600 kat would do against a Ferrari and my turn into work was a 100 yards away or so. The Ferrari sped through the intersection nearly colliding with a silver BMW that had just pulled onto the road. The Ferrari, tailgated the BMW for a few seconds, swerving back and forth trying to pass him. The BMW finally changed lanes and the Ferrari sped off. I thought it was adequate that the driver of the BMW gave the Ferrari the bird through his sunroof as he drove away. I chuckled, and just wondered to myself what would have happened if a squid had tried to drag the ferrari as I walked into work. |
