Default A Ricer's Surprise (video)
I don't know if this one has made its rounds here or not, but I just saw it for the first time, and thought it'd give you a laugh for the day. Sorry if this is supposed to be in the Kill Stories section, but since it involved a C5 vette(Lingenfelter?) I thought it would be appropriate.

It's cool that the guys video-ing the thing were respectful of a really hot vette.

I believe when this video first made its rounds a few years ago, the owner mentioned he sprayed for the first time and couldn't hook up. Also, as someone said above, it's a Rippie.

You know, no matter how many times I see it, that video NEVER gets old. My favorite part is before the Vette first gets on the gas and the kid in the Evo says "I think he's scared.." then it's all throttle, hahah!

Thanks for the post DocT, first time I saw that one. AWD hole shot was great, but way to pull back by the owner of the Vette. Good vid.
