The year was 2000.
The Buick Turbo Regal in question was the understated WE4 version.
.
The power bulge was the only clue this wasn’t your regular black Regal.
.
I was stopped at a light early in the morning when a Taurus SHO with that whiz-bang Yamaha 24v V6 pulled up next to me.
.
Having owned one in the past, I was well aware of its capabilities as well as the idea that the driver knew too.
.
Right before the light changed, one gray haired geezer glanced at the other with that look that all street racers know.
.
As the light changed I saw his front tires smoking and I flattened the accelerator.
.
Well, I’m pretty sure the SHO driver was quite puzzled as all he saw was a row of red tail lights…
.
Great way to start a workday!
