I pulled up to a red light last week.

I was in the right hand lane.

Trying to tune in a good station on the radio,

I keep hearing this crazy pitter-patter noise.

Pitter- patter, pitter-patter.

I finally look to my left,

There is Fred Flintstone in his ragtop.

Them little feet just going a mile a minute.

Ya! he got me, But it was close.

 

My favorite had to be a Geo Metro with what looked like a 6ft spoiler.

It was late late at night, we were both sitting at a redlight. He came up next to me with my windows down and started revving his engine. I didn't want to race him, so instead I turned of TC. Stared at him and proceeded to do a burnout, with a nice smoke cloud. His jaw dropped and then he hung his head... Then when the light turned green I just rolled out and mosey'd on my way.

 

LMAO! Now that is classic!

 

I had some kid in a Sicon do the head nod and engine rev at a stop sign on the way home, now I know what you're sayin ... what's so funny about that ? Well he was the typical " ricer " dude with the fart can muffler, huge freakin wing and the stickers all over his car. The funny thing was judging by the body, dented and dinged and no wash job for years, I just cracked up !
Not being an SRT I know my car is limited and some of these banged up ricer sleepers can actually run ! I shifted the auto-stick down to 1, turned off the A/C and we launched together from a dig. All I saw was headlights fading away in the rear view mirrors.
Well maybe it wasn't that funny .... but that's my story and I'm stickin to it !

 

Isn't that kinda like saying- "I have friends that are black".....

 

Thanks for giving me a good laugh! The mental picture I got was priceless.

 

ROTFLMAO

 

no problem... i was upset at myself because i had my video camera in my bag from work (i carry it and a digital camera everywhere i go)...but then i didn't get it out to get the whole incident on video which would have made it for a much better story.

 

Oh man!

 

You know what I mean- "I'm not racist, I have friends..."

 

there's a kid who drives an old Benz, maybe an E, and he's got some dumb wing on the back of it. i pulled up next to him at a light, it changes and of course there he goes. i mashed the pedal and effortlessly blew by him, my friend in the passenger seat is laughing and says that kid tries that with everyone.

couple weeks later my friend calls and says "that kid in the Mercedes rear ended someone today..."

 

i haven't had any amusing cars try to race me. primarily, it's late model bmw and mercedes sedans. however, this ford expedition recently tried to get to the fast lane exiting a freeway on-ramp with me (ie; kind of cutting the little car off). buh-bye. i guess that was kind of amusing.

 

I had a Maxda CX-9 that cut me off twice in traffic. After the second time he was directly in front of me when the light turned red. He changed lanes at the red light with the sole purpose of getting us lined-up for a race. I had no intention of racing. When the light turned green I didn't move. So he didn't move either. Our areas is loaded with law enforcement of all kinds. The most annoying is the Texas Highway Patrol. When I finally started, I took off a lot quicker than normal so that we were running neck to neck. The Maxda was about as fast as I had guaged it to be. I later read it has 273 Hp. I am sure he thought he had a chance. I didn't want him going home and telling the wife he beat a SRT-6. I was at 1/2 throttle and we were still dead even when I reached 40 mph. That is when I looked over at the guy and punched it. My wife started laughing because I quickly left him behind...even she didn't know how fast my car is. I wasn't in a good spot in my power ban so may takeoff was smooth and low key but plenty quick. The Maxda guy must have been puzzled because he thought we were already racing before I punched it. It must have looked like I got tired of running next to him and decided to give it some more gas. I took it to 70 and cruised close to the speed limit. He stayed behind, way behind. It was good for a laugh anyway. Anyone seen the movie Seabiscuit?
