thewheelman Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 It's stinking hot here in KY! The other day I came in from mowing the yard when the heat index was over 102 and the wife says, I got bbq for supper, but I forgot the buns......so, I jump in the GT500 and run up to Food Lion. It's less than a mile and I realize I haven't driven this car in like 3 weeks! I'm hot and sweaty and nasty so I'm in and out as fast as possible. However, the 2 young lads in their shiny new Dodge Dart were waiting on me when I came out. I had briefly considered taking the long way home (around the "block" is about 4 miles 1/2 of it four-lane) to blow the cobwebs out of the exhaust and their antics convinced me. They followed me across the parking lot revving their engine and I turned left to go around the block instead of home, they turned too. All over my back bumper, gunning and revving it all the time. I eased on down the road without too much fuss until we hit the 4 lane. When the light turned green, I turned right, took the right lane. Immediately they jumped out in the left lane and pulled along side. We were doing about 45-50 when I rolled the window down and gave them one of these "who? me?" looks and they nailed it. It was a hoot because I stayed along side, with very little effort to about 70, then I stuck my hand out the window, waved, rolled up the window and then drove away. They didn't even bother to wave back when I turned off a mile or so ahead........must have been the heat.....I was still grinning when I got home and the wife said, you been out blowing the soot out, haven't you? I love this car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

08KR525 Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 They probably took their Dart back to the dealership. Evidently they thought they had purchased the Dart Hellcat. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helix Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 I went to a 60's/70's style burger place that recently re-opened; there are always cruises going on and Sunday in particular I saw a 2008 or 2009 Shelby GT500 convertible and a 2012 Shelby GT500. Both cars were beautiful; however, on an unrelated note I was coming home on a highway stretch and had to pull a maneuver to get around a few people that were driving 40 in a 55. I noticed I had certain headlights behind me following the same route, headlights like a 2013 or newer Mustang. I figured he must be trying to pass me. Go ahead, I thought, but I'm not going down without a fight. Then when he pulled to the side of me and it tipped me off (along with the exhaust sound) when I saw the snake on the side - 2013/2014 Shelby GT500 - that I was in fact going down without a fight that night. Must be the heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
