I passed someone

I drove up to Hanks today on Hwy. 16 in my IH, but on the way back I passed someone. Don't ask how fast i was gonin ( no speedometer) but I passed someone. Sure it was a old couple in a white Crown Vic. but I OWNED them.

It was quite funny I was laughing and cringing my teeth at the same time. I had that 264 reven higher then it had since I've owned it. I think I could use another gear. But, it was sure nice to be the passer for once, finally.

congrats man, that's awesome. I remember that feeling well from a number of years driving an '86 caravan with 2.6.

The wife's car used to be a 97 Corolla with a 1.6L, that thing was sooooo gutless. We took it to BC one time and all I could get was 60 kph holding the pedal to the floor the whole time!! Now she has an 01 Windstar and it has plenty of *****!!!
