Chapter 24: Traffic pt. 2

Somewhere far away I could hear roaring engines. Those were probably just some impulsive youngsters trying out their new cars on the relatively empty roads. Back in the days I would do the same, but now as I got older, the right lane was also pretty enjoyable sometimes. I look ahead and see a truck going with 90 kilometres per hour. We only had around 10 more kilometres to go on this autobahn. I got into the right lane behind him and let my thoughts wander. The back had something stable, like a bastion of calm. I heard the engine sounds again. This time, they were closer. I figured that they have to drive in the same direction we do. I am on the right side anyway, so the best seat for a good show on the fast lane. I started to feel a slight anticipation to see the muscle cars that would make such sounds. Slowly they got closer. As they did, I noticed that the engine sounds are not those of normal muscle cars. They were crazy loud and had a serious tune to them. If possible, I got more excited. Those have to be professionals. The Underground car scene was terrifyingly crazy here. I saw one or two of their secret car conventions and trust me; this is not your usual tuning anymore. What those freaks do is highly illegal and dangerous to the degree, that even I would be scared to drive these cars. Nevertheless, the people driving such monsters called cars are no normal people either. The drivers are highly skilled and experienced street racers. Just watching them drive in "normal" cars was a blessing for the eyes. Witnessing one of their legendary races was a once in a lifetime opportunity for someone outside of their social circles. Even though it was illegal, I couldn't care less at this moment. I took out my mobile phone and started recording. I was behind a truck that drove with cruise control, so when I started my own cruise control, the possibility of something happening was nearly zero. I started to zoom in on the rearview mirror. The roads were empty behind us, empty to the point that it was not normal anymore for this time of the day. The sound of the roaring engines became so loud, that they have to come within my field of vision very soon. The thought didn't even finish forming in my head, by the time I saw the first lights. Two cars were driving side by side. It looked like a stalemate to me, but they are too far behind to really te-… No it was really a stalemate. They were zooming across as if they wouldn't drive, but float on the street. What a beautiful sight to behold. The one on the left lane was white like falling snow, the one on the right black like the night. Both of course without a license plate, but with that their fronts could be seen in their full beauty.
