Pontiac Grand Am
I was driving down one of my cities main roads where the speed limit is 50 MPH, but there's also a couple stop lights. I came up to one such stoplight and it was red, so of course I stopped, and as I'm sitting there, I see the other direction's light turn yellow, therefore mine is about to turn green. I look in my rearview mirror, and I see headlights approaching a little bit back, since the speed limit is 50, he's gaining pretty fast... well, by the time the light turned green, he was still about a block to two blocks behind me, and I was at a dead stop, he was going no slower than 40-45... I like to gun it off the line, and race a person coming up at full speed like that just to see how quickly I can overcome them. Well, I shoot off the line and I'm going as fast as I know how to drive, and it's raining out. The guy gets maybe 1/2 to 1 car length ahead of me, then I overcome him with ease... I then slowdown a bit to stay within the speed limit since I wasn't really racing, and here's the funny part, when the guy passed me back about 45 seconds later, I look over and he is leaning over his passenger seat staring at me wide-eyed.. I started cracking up, as did my girlfriend, as if the driver had never seen a little four banger go that fast.. Bone stock at that.. I just thought it was kind of funny. Wee, also super tired and pissed bout my headlights so I'm kinda rambling.. goodnight all. rolleyes.gif :D tongue.gif
