Default is it racing?

On my way back from McDonald's and a new Camaro SS starts revving me. The guy still had dealer plates. Anyways, my car is basically stock so I don't even try. The guy takes off and wipes out into a T barrier after about 100 feet. But the thing is, something broke on that car. It was spraying sparks from underneath from the start. I guess it's a kill, one more piece of crap off the road.

lol WTF!? that sucks for him!.. one reason I love AWD.. you don't have to worry about breaking traction and losing it after the launch! I seen a new BOSS 302, 5.0 and LS1 Trans Am do the exact same thing at the track this past summer but they didn't hit the rails or walls.

What an experience! I've had many hot rods try to goat me into street racing light to light but I never give in, I will get up to the speed limit very quickly with another car if taunted sometimes.

Probably a kid in a V6 Camaro. Figured he finally found a car he might be able to outrun.

I know the difference in what a V8 and V6 sounds like. And the V6 ones are fat *** pigs, my cousin has one that has a very hard time spinning the tires.

Did you do the polite thing by passing by, revving at him followed then taking off quickly while peeling out leaving him in a cloud of smoke?

No. I was laughing too hard.

Ditto.. it's the most polite thing to do

If you cannot or will not help, pointing and laughing is the next best solution!
