Nice Kill lol, I think that counts.

Good thing you didn't take the bait though, you'd have been right next to him when it broke.

Along with putting your finger and thumb an inch apart or making an appropriate fapping motion.

Those sparks were probably coming from his tire rim, just wondering if he blew the tire when he got sideways, leaving him sliding on metal.

Sucks for him. I remember when I got my first quick car back in 1996. It was a used 1995 Z28 Camaro with the LT1 motor. I got on it from a stop and the rear end got squirly and the final result wasn't good. That stunt set me back some coin at the body shop

Nah, might give him the wrong impression. You know how those Camaro guys are

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Kinda found that line ironic. Guy in a early 80's fox calling a 5th gen. Camaro a piece of crap. even if it was a V6 it would most like have beat a broke down old fox.

First off, 89 is not early 80s. Second, a V6 with 300 hp and 278 ft-lbs torque trying to move 4000 pounds vs a 225 hp and 300 ft-lbs torque V8 moving 3200 pounds is going to be basically even until about 50 mph. Third, my car isn't the one that broke.
