I figure since no actual street racing occurred, I'd post this. It'll also make you re-think the stereotypical ricer. Perhaps its only funny ot me but I thought I'd share. lmao.gif

Anyways, I was cruising around town, went to grab a bite, and was leaving to head back to college. As I'm turning out of the lot, a new Red Cobalt SS goes by me going pretty quick, sounding off his bumblee muffler. The speed limit bumps up a bit and he waits for me. I pull up beside him as he drops down a gear, and look over, fully expecting to see a teenager with his hat on backwards listening to Snoop Dogg. I look over to find... a wrinkled old 70 year old man. laugh.gif He looks me dead in the eye, and floors it. I can't help but start laughing a bit now. He continues to harass me up the road, with me intent on not wasting gas on a non Supercharged Cobalt.

We catch a light, and he revs the piss out of it... at least 5000rpm. Light turns green, and I take off normal. I begin to wonder where that annoying Cobalt is so I check the rearview. He's still at the light, stalled, with a line of cars behind him pissed off.

Now hes too embarrassed to pull anymore stupid stuff beside me, and turns into the driveway next to the shop where I work on my cars. I tell my Dad this story and he can't help but laugh, he says the guy used to try to street race back in the day, turns out he had a nice Corvette at one time that he launched off a stoplight right into a Semi and tore the roof off. My Dad had done the repairs.

lmao.gif

My story for the day.

That's really funny!! If only more 70 year old guys raced...
My white haired grandma used to drive my dad's '73 mustang a bit and I'm sure she got quite the looks. Got out of a few tickets too smile.gif
