Well, driving back to work from lunch today, I turned right in front of a black Trailblazer SS that was waiting to go straight at the light. I noticed it because I really like them and I don't see that many around here yet. I din't really think anything of it and just kept driving. Low and behold I notice that not too long after I turned right the trailblazer was closing in on me, and all I could think to myself was..."man that's a nice truck!" We had to merge down into one lane, I was behind a semi-truck and the Trailblazer was behind me. As soon as the road opens back up to 3 lanes though I pulled into the left lane and I noticed he pulled into the right. I heard him floor it (sounded nice) and see him take off in the corner of my eye. I did the same but had to slow down because some people were turning left in front of me. He merged onto the highway, and I said ah screw it. I gun it and get to about 85-90 (no one in front of me) and I notice he slowed down some, so I slowed down too thinking nothing was going to happen. As I passed him on the left doing about 60 now, I hear him gun it again. I again followed lead and the race was on. At first I couldn't see him in any of my mirrors (because he was right in my blind spot), but as the MPH climbed I noticed him in my right side view mirror and then in my rear view mirror, slowly falling behind. By 85-90 MPH I had 2-3 car lengths on him and that's when I let off.
I got into the right lane, as my exit was next and slowed down so that he could get beside me. I rolled down my window, and when he pulled up next to me, I gave him a thumbs up and mouthed "Nice Car!". He gave me a wave too, but I could tell he wanted to run some more. As I pulled into the exit lane, I hear him gun it again, I look over give him another wave, he does the same and speeds off.
Man those trailblazers are nice! I was strongly considering one not too long before I started looking into the charger, and honestly I still wouldn't mind having one. I can't really call this a kill, because it was just a 30 MPH jaunt (60-90) and we only ran it one time. I did pull on him and think that I would have won if we ran multiple times, but I can't confirm that. I don't know what they are running at the track and I don't know what I am running at the track yet, but it was a fun little race never the less.
Man, I've got to get this thing out to the track!
