Stuck behind a Vette on the motorcycle...

Basskiller suggested a Vette or a motorcycle.
For that mid - life **isis!
I liked it, but already have a motorcycle.
So I figured, "Who cares it's 39 degrees, fire it up and lets go!"
I had 3 stops but all-told got in 110 miles, sweet.
Oh, and in the middle of nowhere, down a bumpy country road, I got stuck behind (of all cars) a newer Corvette.
I was thinking, "Dude, thirty miles an hour, that's all ya got?"
Then at the end of the road, he does a burnout in the stones.
Wow, did he learn that in Vette driving school?
I went the other way and was the better for it, great ride all around.
I'm glad I got the motorcycle, and the odometer kicked over the 52,000 mile mark on the home-stretch.
Didn't want to park it. Isn't that always the way?
I'm nice and warm now.
I'm either beeming from sunburn or circulation.
Either one sounds good.

i used to race one a couple times a month on !90 going back to Boston. it was modified. I had a Cougar XR-7 stock with a blower on a V-6. I'd push it to 130 and then he'd punch it and grey/black smoke would come out and he would walk away from me. The Cougar was really about done. my brother had raced it and sold it to me. It had new suspension and tranny but it wasn't up to beating the vette.

Well, Glyco..., feel relieved at least he was heading for the engine shop.
Black smoke is not so bad, carbon from running rich, but the blue smoke, that's burning oil most likely from the valve stem seals, the piston rings, or both!
Probably sitting in his yard right now, blocking the wind from the dog house.
Sounds like it was fun, though!
