I know its an old story but new to you guys. Kinda long...enjoy

So last year late at night, after Albuquerque had recovered from one of its worst blizzards recorded, the streets were clear but nights still chilly and i had to go check on my bro's GT at his apartment complex. It was me and my girl at the time, we were heading up the street about to turn off to his apt. when i see in the rear view mirror a dark cobra comming up quick. I could tell by the front bumper's fog lights and the street lights glimmer as he was whizzing past them.

So instead of making a turn i choose to go strait. My girl asked "Where are you going?" She sees the Cobra slow up next to us and says "Ohhhh" and looks at me, im smirking at this point and she gives a small smile and hops up in her seat, i take this as a thumbs up. So i crack down the passenger window to hear what im dealing with, lo and behold, i hear the dreaded whine of a Terminator. My heart starts pumpin and i position my hands better on the wheel and shifter. I stay in 2nd gear and get in to my 3k rpm range.

As the Terminator and Athena(see sig [8D]) round this turn i wait with excitement. We hit the strait-away and its a slight uphill and i jab the gas and without missing a beat we both punch it. I pull and his headlights are right behind my peripheral vision and he stays there. 60mph... i shift to 3rd like clock work, but he's still there. 70...80mph...arrhhhh he's creepin' past my door and the Terminator's S/C is screaming at me...90mph i shift to 4th and hear that sweet sweet BOV. He dosnt pass me yet and he shuts it down. "Whoooooo," that felt good and i have this Joker smile on my face, i put my blinker on and give a hard rev. Awesome race....

But thats not the end of the night's events, oh no ladies and gents...

After pulling a uie at the next light i rub my hand over the wheel and thumb over the shifter secretly telling Athena "Good girl". Now heading down hill at a steady 60-65 in a 50 coasting back to the speed limit. With adrenaline still pumpin i get this clench in my gut and i think to myself "stay on the road," and immediatly the *** end darts out right. No problem, its happend before i'll just make the correction. Now she swings further left, correction, and as soon as i feel her going back right, "****!!!" and we start to spin!!

BOOBOOM!! Athena pops up on to a 20-25ft wide, untouched, snow-covered median! Nothing but blackness in the background while my headlights refelct the snow flying up in front....SNAP-SNAP my front bumper goes flying into darkness. All i can do is just hold on at this point and BAMM we hit pavement on the other side of the median, sideways slightly facing on comming traffic. My girl "OH MY GOD WE'RE GONNA GET HIT!!". I look out my fogged up window and see nothing but white, all i think is $$cha-ching$$ bills i cant afford.
But nothing happens, we dont get hit. No more than 10 FEET did the car stop from ME! The guy and his wife said they saw us lose control farther up and slowed down. I asked my girl if she was ok, she was like "Yea, lets get outta here before the cops come." But i have to pick up my bumper .

I walk up the road and pick up my bumper [sm=boohoo.gif] d*mn it, i check further to see if i lost anything else, get on the street, "oof" i slip and fall "WTF?!" Black Ice, GDMFing BLACK ICE!! The cops get there and my girl IIIS PISSED, she hates cops. I explain what happend and we are back on our marry way, with the bumper shoved in over the passenger seat and my girl's tiny self scrunched in the seat because she refuses to ride with the cops. Its a quite ride home...[sm=icon_stickpoke.gif]

so you raced a terminator after a snowstorm. then you got into a wreck. can u say karma? why would you race right after "one of its worst blizzards recorded"? thats asking for trouble. im suprised that terminator messed with you. if i had either of your cars it wouldnt be out right after a f- blizzard.

Yea you would, i go to edit for nothing.....You must have a hard time tryin to comprehend what you read. I said I shifted from 3rd to 4th AND I hear... where did i say that it was from the Termi?

OH and here's a bit of reference of why i would name my car Athena... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athena
I liked the idea she was a protector in war and usually accompanied by Nike, goddess of Victory.

It was well after. Streets were clear of snow and cars, just snow on grass an trees an what not. All there was was water run off during the day in the gutters but some obviously came off into the street and froze.

So lets get this straight, you raced another car in your supercharged Roush (about 450 hp?) when there is snow and water on the road?
Well done, you didn't kill yourself, your passenger or anybody else on the road[sm=why.gif]

About 450hp? well i know im not gonna ask you for tech advice, id be happy if i even broke 400 with my set up.

1. once again streets were clear, dry, no snow, run off in the gutters and there was little to none (i wasnt gonna run near a freakin sidewalk).

2. i wouldnt race if there was ANY what so ever snow in the road
