Cool

I drive a 97 thunderbird, and one night it just got down raining. A honda civic pulls up to me reving his engine and looking at me, so I put my foot on the brake and stop on the gas. The tires start spinning and start to smoke, so he gave me the little look to go when the light changes. So the light turns green, and I stomp on it, the car slides out sideways, countersteer to get it straight and let off the gas. At this point the little civic is about a car lenght ahead of me, I quicky catch up to him with the gas not even hammered. When i catch up to him doing about 45, I stomp in it again, cause the tires to spin and kicking the car out from under me again. By this time I am ahead the the little car looking at him in my rear view. When all is said and down a got up to about 90 on a 45 mph zone waving at the poor kid......
