Default killed a firebird

not sure on what was under the hood but none the less he got smoked

young kid who i work with owns it. never said anything to me but i heard him over talking to another guy saying his car needed engine work.

well i never said anything to him and i was cruising on the highway 2nite goin about 55 cus its wet (speed limit is 65) so im slow poking it and he flies by me. atleasting goin 90 and he slows down and i speed up and so does he. so im like alrite im not playin this game on the highway with wet roads so i slow back down to 55.

turns out he took my exit. whos waiting at the light? the firebird. theres 2 cops sitting at dunks and this kid has his left blinker on but hes in the straight only lane. somehow he dosnt get pulled over. once we passed dunks i got next to him and i saw his rearend lift up as if he gunned it. i dropped it into 2nd spun the tires a bit, got traction and FLEEEWWW by him. not sure if he mis shifted or what but it looked like he hit a brick wall when i passed him.

i would have ripped him one on the highway if it wasnt so wet.

tomorrow supposed to sunny and warm so we'll see what happens. im sure hes goin to be like "i so had u on the highway" and i'll just shake my head and yawn

couldnt tell if it was a V8 or not but he had decent acceleration.

damn i wish it wasnt so wet i would have embarrassed him on the highway

not sure if it was a V6, he was pulling pretty hard when i was next to him.

ill be talking to him tomorrow. my cars gettin worked on in a couple days so im not going to beat on it anymore.

if it was a V6, he was definitely modded. almost positive it's a V8 though because he said it wasnt running right so i assume it was on 7 cylinders.

now that i think about it, no way he was a V6 because its an older one and those V6's barely make 160hp (3.1L)

I hate when people try to race when it's wet.
They can call me chicken or whatever...I'm just smarter and more careful than that.
It's okay though, one time it happened and I saw them later on that day. They had ended up in a ditch and I yelled out "Got traction?" Idiots.
That was last year..I'm not a punk like that anymore. I've calmed down.
