Not Ranked
Several months ago, while driving my Cobra home from work, I came up on a pretty new looking Lotus Espree. Some kid wearing lots of gold was driving. We hit a straight four-lane stretch and he jumped over to the lane beside me, revved it a few times and let her rip. My heart was pounding and I wanted to engage so badly I could hardly stand it. It took every fiber in my body to refrain from racing him. But alas, my senior judgement jumped in as I was approaching redline in second gear. It would have been a blast to go screaming up the road against this awesome looking, highly-refined car. I just settled back into a cruise speed and wondered what the outcome would have been. I looked up the car on the Internet that evening. It's a 4 sec. 0-60 and 180 MPH car. It still would have been fun. Responsibility sucks!
