And the Race is On...

On the way home from Deaf Bowling...Jen and i had a race! She lives in the same direction as me so we have to follow each other until i turn off. When we hit our first turn we called each other and said the race is on! She, in her minivan (a 3.0 engine) and me and my cavalier (a 2.4 engine)...she took off a little faster!! My poor little car's RPM's reved up to 5000 and almost hit the red! But i caught up fairly fast and stuck *very* close Jen's bumper! She would speed up...i would speed up. Very soon we were going close to...70-75mph. i couldn't pass because of another car coming or a corner. So on the corners when no cars were coming...i would swerve from one side to another and flash the lights at her...just having a good time! Then the perfect opportunity came! After the big corner came the straight stretch and no cars were coming! i floored my poor little car and watched the RPM's go up as i swerved out and around Jen. i evened off right as i came to the side of her and waved ever so nicely! Then finished going around her! Soon Jen called me and said that she was trying very hard to keep me behind her! Alas...how good winning feels!
i have such a competative streak in me that it's not funny! (but being able to drive as fast as you want and win the race...it just feels so darn good!)

thanks for racing Jen...maybe next month when we both leave at the same time...we can have another race!
