How do you launch your MM?

[SergntMac]

It's late in the evening, you've had a busy day, but a good day, everything worked out fine. Traffic is lean on this four lane blacktop, and you're really enjoying a peaceful and relaxing drive home in your MM.

You pull up to the red, you've got the right lane. Pulling up from behind you in the center lane, a cutie, and she's looking your way. Her smile says "nice car," her eyes twinkle "I want to see more," and then you see why. She's driving a black Sable, with dual synergistic turbothrusters from SprialMax, not just 35 % Hp increase, she's got two, for a total of 70% boost, and she thinks you're easy.

You've got two clean blocks ahead, no driveways, no side streets, no oncomming traffic, and the Crispy Creme one block back looked like an impersonator's convention. There's not a cop for miles.

Now what...how do you launch your MM against the Black Widow Sable?

[Logan]

I start screaming like a damn lunatic, smacking myself in the head, slam the button marked super magical rocket pack ignition and put the pedal to the metal.

But then, that's just me.

[SergntMac]

So you do have a sense of humor after all...Very nice.

[cyclone03]

I let her win.
This will,of course,be the bases for our relationship for the next 5 years when we divorve and never talk to each other again.....

Wait you said "what would I do" not what did I do..............

[TAF]

That is TOO funny! "Beware of chicks in modded Sables"...

[TAF]

How did Logan get damn through the sensor and we can't even write the word vacuum.

I guess it's "good to be the king"!

[Directedby]

Too funny Mac.

I'd roll down my window, tell her she has smeared make-up.

When she goes for the rear view mirror to fix herself up - I'd gun it.

[Logan]

todd... Easy answer, I control the vertical. I control the horizontal. Do not attempt to adjust your web browser.

[LincMercLover]

Wow... that was the MOST humor I've ever seen come outta Logan! LOL!

If it were me, I'd put my niple up to the window and then ask her to show me hers.

"It's good to be the king"

Okay, maybe I was a bit overboard in the set-up here, but my question is a serious topic too. Serious to me, anyway.

I'm an old time street racer, now re-born in an MM. Think of my Sable joke as some high powered exotic car, and this moment as an important moment you need to leave behind just right. Forget the b**ch, and her Sable, and her double whatevers. Tell us how you launch your MM, when it's an important launch for you.

Here's what I do...

1) I never, ever, pull up even, anywhere. I always lay back and crawl forward. If I'm there first, I'll slip into neutral and hope to slide back a few feet, hope for the best "reluctant" stage I can get out of it. I want to be late.

2) I watch the lights for the cross traffic, yellow for them is a 3 second stage for me. I hope there isn't a dedicated turning lane to wait through, and look for one. If I'm not sure, it's no race here, maybe the next light, kinda like a second date. Cross traffic yellow should be 3 seconds, time your lights locally.

3) On their yellow, I brake and bring her to 1000 RPM or so, not much more. I don't want any telling visible body language on the stage with me. While holding, I count to myself one, two three. (find your local beat, know your intersections)

4) After I one, two three, I release the brake and accelerate by the same beat in four, five, six. By six, I'm down, out of this. I get a nice steady, sure drive into power, with little burn, or, spin, and I get there in 20-25 feet or so. I get there with all the false signals I've been taught to show, and they think they read. Body language, I've given the other guy what he asked for, a chance to be caught unaware, not sure if I'm going for it or not. And, if there is any screech from my tires at all, most likely, any cop watching us will see him first, because by now, he's trying too hard and just burning himself up while reading my bumper.

Win.

A long time ago, a guy named Joe Satmary taught me something. He said, "kid, if you don't win, don't race."

Now...How do you launch your MM?

Tag, you're it.

[RF Overlord]

Pull up to red light. Stare at guy next to me. If he looks back, give him the finger. When light turns green, floor it. Look in rear-view mirror, see blue lights. Hand cop license and registration. Go home, open mail. Insurance cancelled!?...Put car on e-bay.

[Marauderman]

RF Overlord--Don't be so sarcastic----even though your joking!!! SergnMac was REALLY SERIOUS--when he meant How do you launch your MM? What all of a sudden makes you turn from the norm to the I'll get you --you son of a dreamer...----so what can get your :censo: alls in an up roar!!! Well ..Tell us ..we all want to know---we all have a breaking point where we just loose it--so where is everyone's --that is what SergnMac is trying to get us to spell out--well..

[Marauderman]
