Default Is that a HEMI? :)

No, not what you're thinking. Although everyone thinks my TA is a Camaro. Bleh.

Was coming home in the 70 TA after a softball game last night, minding my own business, when a Eurotrash looking dude in a new Celica GT keeps getting up on my butt, so I push down the accelerator a bit to pull away from him. Next light he right back on my butt. So I'm thinking I might have to go a little harder off the line.

Light turns green, I accelerate a little aggressively, but no where near a full throttle tear when I hear "BWAAAAAAHHHHH" right next to me and I instinctively throw the hammer down, pull even with whatever this was through 1st and blow by it through 2nd, get about a car and half on it before I have to turn off, and see a big new HEMI pick up truck with a guy that looks JUST LIKE the Hemi-Cooter dude in the commericals!

I gave him a little wave but he didn't even look over. Guess he was too embrassed that his HEMI just got it's lunch money stolen.

Not your daddy's HEMI, that's for sure.

Generally I don't do stuff like this (esepcially with my wife a couple cars behind me) but when somejust throws down like that without warning, instinct kind of takes over.
