OK I'll post my kill here check it

Ok now my clutch is slippery thn a lesbian twister party ok.
I pull up to this guy who thinks he's all that in his primered, 5" tach in the midle of the steering wheel,big rear tires, and dual slants coming out the rear like daily driven dragster. Alright now I am against street racing, buuuut I wanted t know what my car could do ya know. So I revved the engine a bit letting him hear my exhaust, but then again who can't it's so loud lol. He looks over and grins alittle prob thinking that I ain't got nothing but another import or soemthing. He tries to act it cool and says the I tihnk my friend owned that car before you speach. I'm sitting there like Now my car is originally from Minnesotta and I bought the car from a whole different city. So I shrug at him and tighten the shoulder straps on my 5 pt harness to hear him say in his red neck slang "thats a high winder hu?" I was baffled he actually knew something about the car but just replied with a yup and gave it another rev. So he laughs alittle and gives his v8 a roar. Sounded pretty nice truthfully. Well I ate him up from right when that light turned green. So bad that he didn't actually start to gain until he made the mistake I've seen a lot of people make with me, shift. Cause thats when I press the peddle down all the way and take it to 8K and shift. Well I left him in the dust. He got basically. I look in the rear view mirror to see him turn down a side street with his tail in his legs probably all like
I never felt so good.


P.S. Don't move this to the kill section already there

you should look at the people beside you when you let it go to 8K. Just not romping on it. Just normal driving.

I'm gonna say this nicely I paid less. look around online man tire.com has great deals. free shipping. sliding around coners is....ok. But I was driving normally and I almost slid into a telephone pole and then grabbed traction and headed hea on almost hitting a van. Twas scarey very scarey.
