alright, so im not really one that goes out and races constantly, but it was friday and i was bored. so me and my friend roll up close to baltimore at this place between a mcdonalds and some mexican restaraunt where all these ricers, low riders, and serious street racers meet up around 11- midnight or so
so i drove up there to show off and just so i could take a cruise on the highway, we get bored standing around near all these losers (for real, there is nothing great about a 91 chevy s10 engine that is painted purple, omg)
i pull up to a stop light at next to a shopping mall on the highway, and in front of me are 2 of the guys who were hanging out 5 mins earlier, getting ready to take off and race. One car: a green Ford Probe GT with some kind of exhaust, and his girlfriend in the passengers seat. the other car: 2 guys in a black chevy cavalier, with some pretty cool rims, and a loud exhaust
this is where it gets funny: the light with traffic going across the intersection turns red, both start revving engines, and suddenly the Probe peels out halfway into the intersection, stops, then reverses back into place because the light didnt turn green (they forgot that the turn lanes and U turn lanes didnt go yet). so me and my friend laughed our asses off at that
so finally the light turns green and they take off, and i try to keep up a little, but not really, i shifted at like 4000 maybe, just so i could get a good view. the green probe pulled out ahead maybe a car length
after about 15 or 20 seconds i get the urge, and i gun it. took 3rd gear up to atleast 80, and then im up to about 100 mph, and ive already caught up to both of them. i turn my headlights off, and keep my fogs on, trying to see if i can sneak up on them. finally a 3rd lane opens up after some construction and i pull into, and put it into 5th, and floor it up the turn lane going about 110 at this point.
As i get up to 115, i am flying by both cars, then i cut off probe because the lane was ending and i wouldve nailed the curb and ended up in the brick dining room of a Wendys. I pull way ahead, then start slowing down because of a stoplight coming up with a red light camera.
i cruise through the green light at about 80, and the green probe starts approaching, while the black cavalier turns left at the light. the probe then comes really close, almost into my lane, and lines up with me. i thought "is this guy serious?", my friend was laughing. then the other drivers g/f rolls down the window and they yelled something at me but i couldnt hear. Then i pull out my cell phone and put it up to my ear like its an important call, totally showed him up like i was way too important. the probe turned off at the next light, as i raced home to change my pants after pissing myself
hope you enjoyed reading about how my car took a dump on some rice

But the cop was all cool about it, even complemented me on my neons. "
