Pulled up to a redlight next to a tricked out (for lack of a better term) rice burner. Air dams, chunky exhaust, debadged. He's revving his engine and I'm sitting there idling. Light turns green and that's the last he saw of anything but my boot getting smaller in his windshield.

Those little things in life that make us smile...

And for a cheapskate like me to do this and still get 28mpg is just delightful.

Jas.

Ditto

 

"Then I realized I only had to go 35mph to beat him . . . right?

 

Lol, nice recovery.

 

psh...35??? He probably had him at 5 mph.

This quote comes to mind

"You had me? You didn't even have your car"..... Name the movie...

The ricer probably forgot what gear to put it in to get the car to move...(That or he forgot to put it back into "D" (Drive) after he put it into "N" (Neutral) so he could rev it )

 

YUP IB4TL

Surprising what you can do off the line up to 35 mph.

 

IB4TL

 

Lock in 5, 4, 3, 2, ......

 

IB4TL too.....

 

Dang, a 14 second car kicking butt, you know the other car couldn't be too fast if you beat him easily.

 

I opened, I read, I spent 2 mins I'll never get back, I posted, I left.


What a waste....

 

Regardless of the speed sounds like street racing to me. Locked and a warning issued.
