Message Went to mail a letter in Grand Prairie, and at lights, a black Ford Lightening pulled next to me. Looked stock and sound quiet. Didn't think of racing, but at about passing half of the intersection of 303 and Carrier, I saw him started to gunk it. I was still thinking whether or not I should race so I keep rolling in 1st and hung at 3500rpm. Since he gunked it, so I hit it, too. Damn cold whether granted my Z boost so hard tonite that I started to spin form 5K~redline. Before spinning, I was pulling away from him, but he passed me when I spinned :-(

Then quickly shited to 2nd. Didn't know at what rpm, but this was when shit happening. His tail was about at my headlight, and I started to pull again, but I started to fishtail to his ass, so close that my driver door was alomost kissing up. I tied to pull, then it swam to the curb. Major traction loose!!!!! Then rear right tire and rim hit the curb and bounced back! Sobbing....

Quickly pulled over to the parking and checked the rim and tire. A small part of the rim was scratced off :-( Then Stood up, saw 2 cop cars was about 1/4 away across street!! Luckly, both of our exhaust were quiet and accident didn't happen :-) Will be heading to Discount Tires to have them check if there is any bent on my rear rim and other possible breaking to the suspension :-(
Don't want to be like Genic becoming a Koning Whore, LOL....
However, Lightening, indeed, is fast!
