Default First encounter with another mustang

So I'm not sure if this is the right section or not but here we go anyways.

So I pulled up to a light tonight and there was another fox next to me. He gave me the thumbs up and I assumed he meant he wanted to go so i took off at the light but then I just saw him take off slow. I slowed down and he told me he wanted to check out my car, so I said sure and we pulled into a parking lot. This is where everything gets a little sketchy... We introduce ourselves and he asks if my car was an 86 and I told him yeah it was, he then proceeds to tell me he wants to take me to his shop right down the road.. meanwhile its 11:30 at night and I get a little sketched out. I tell him sure, and my friend decides it probably wasn't the best idea, we turn around and head the other direction. Idk if I was worried for no reason, but I just got a bad vibe from the whole situation. The guys eyes were glassy and his pupils were huge. Has this kind of thing ever happened to anyone else? I'm not sure whether it was just a real nice guy or some guy on drugs trying to lure me and my friend to our deaths lol. Apologies if it was anyone on the forum!

p.s. tried to post in the street/strip section and don't have the priviledges yet so I hope it's ok to put this here.

I'd of asked him why he wanted to take you to the shop at the time.......either way you did right following your gut and heading out of there.

I wouldn't ever just go to some random guys "garage". A chop shop is just as convincing. Probably the best move, I'd have to get to know the guy before I did anything like that, what was his reason?

very smart my man.. those 86's are a rare find (in good condtion) so I'm pretty sure that dirt bag was up to no good.
