Ever had an almost epic moment? A moment where you found yourself saying "Dammit that coulda been awesome."?
Today, the wife and I were out sofa shopping, driving the SRT8 Grand. We were headed south on Peoria from Lincoln and stopped for the light just south of the E-470 overpass. Exiting from the highway I see this beautiful black and silver Bugatti Veyron. The Veyron and 3 other cars turn north onto Peoria. She sees that I'm all twitterpated about the Veyron and asks "what's so great about it?" and I let her know it's a 2.2 million dollar car and arguably the fastest street car in production. I get the green light and with a huge mischievous shit-eating grin..... and an "Oh crap...." from the wife..... I mash the throttle in hopes of catching up to and pulling alongside that incredible Bugatti......with every intent to entice the driver into a drag race down that long straight section of Peoria. Indeed, a race I had zero chance of winning...... but what a race to lose!!!
But those other 3 cars and oncomming southbound traffic, provided one very in opportune blockade that I couldn't get past....
Then I watch as the Bugatti passes the UPS Distribution Center..... goes wide open and just flat-out hauls keester like a fighter jet launching from the deck of an aircraft carrier, and the exhaust noise...... Amazing.
