This was today...6/15/06. 0945 Hrs, I was WB on 103rd from Kedzie Ave.
I wasn't going to post anything about this until this thread opened.
At Pulaski Road, I'm next to a 2006 Chevy Impala SS in the General's version of our Silver Birch. I'm in my #3 MM. We pull FWD from the green, and take it to about 60 MPH, still in 2nd gear for me.
I gave him a sample of a 1-2 shift bark, and he pulled out of the contest. I noticed he had "temp" tags on it as I passed him by, must be new to the car, and the stop light challenge.
At the first opportunity, Kostner Avenue, he turned right and headed north on a side-street. I turned NB on Rt. 50 (Cicero Avenue) and contnued on my way, but parrell to him too.
Two blocks later, there he is...And looking to get on Rt. 50 (Cicero) from a side strreet...He saw me, and waited past what he need to wait, so we would not be side-by-side again.
Sometimes, it's the car. Sometimes it's the driver.
'06 Impala SS...No sweat.
