Yesterday I drove from St. Louis to Bentonville, AR for a meeting today with a buyer at the "Evil Empire" headquarters. About 1/2 way through the 5 hour drive there, I pulled up behind a beautiful '05 Sonic GT w/ white racing stripes in the left lane. The Sonic was behind a donkey named jack in a blazer riding the left lane very slowly. I-44 in that area is only 2 lanes in each direction. The Sonic was riding the Tool in the blazer. I stayed a few car lengths back from the Sonic so they knew i wasn't riding them since I knew that they weren't the cause of the slow down.

Anyhoo, there was too much congestion in the right lane to pass but there was enough room for the Blazer to easily get over. Finally after 4 miles the donkey named jack in the blazer finally gets into the right lane. Then right way it was like:

We both floored it and passed him so fast I'm sure his doors rattled. . It was so cool to pull a "Double 05" to someone sooooooo deserving. Later when the GT was exiting the highway I smiled and gave the driver (she was also a women, Girl Power!!") the thumbs up on her great car!


To make a long story longer "I LOVE MY CAR!!!!!!". You can pass so effortlessly. I was finally past by break in period on the way back today. I found one safe spot where I could finally almost open it up and hit 110 MPH. She definitely had at least 10 MPH left but I came up on another car and had to slow down.

Someone said that with a tuner, the mustang's top speed is 147mph. I think you had quite a few more MPH left in it...
