Default Z26 tried all she was worth...

okay i was taking my girlfriend home from school one day(i graduated last year) and this little punk in a Berreta Z26 comes flying up behind me. everday he chirps his tires out of the parking lot right in front me attempting to show me what he has, or wish he had. so just start laughing when i see this. that sad part is...he had a huge head start on me, he had to be going like at least 20mph faster than me when he got into the other lane to pass, i looked and said hell no. i was going about 45 cause i just slowed down for car that turned, i floored it, bonnie roars to life, and doesn't even let him come up next to me, and he had that head start too! he tried to about 95mph at about a car lenth behind me then two , before he gave up. but seeing as i have 10 points on my license i slowed back down sinse he obvisouly saw he had nothing. he flies back around me and i can't help but laugh if he thinks he still has something over my bonneville. this is my first kill in this car, go bonnie

Okay, get this, i'm back up at school today and this kids sister comes up and tells me, "you better never try to race my brother again, it'* just a waste of your gas anyway!" I'm like you couldn't be more right, i smoked him bad, another race wouldn't be worth my gas. haha, funny kids.

As does my friend. lol

He'* into the Beretta club thing and all that. This summer I'm going with him to Beretta Fest in Milwaulkee, WI.

I hear and see some Beretta'* like to do the 3800 Series engine swap. Not a bad idea considering how light those suckers are.
