Default A couple firsts

Well I knew it was bound to happen sooner or later but I didnt expect to engage in my first race the 2nd day I had my car. I was driving home on I-435 and noticed that a big rig infront of me was "tossing" sheets of ice as big as my chest I waited for a pause and then dropped into 3rd and got around the semi. In doing so I attracted the attention of what I would guess to be a 98 integra. He pulled along side me (now that I was again doing the speed limit) and tossed me a rev from his bee hive. Feeling rather antsy I gave him the same treatment as the semi, dropped into 3rd and before I needed to shift to fourth I had him by four or five car lengths
then came my next first... the integra zipped past me and gave me his hazzards a little irritating but hey its to be expected. isnt it?
sorry to make this so long, thought you guys would find it marginally entertaining.

Yeah I was a little more worried about watching out for police in the area than watching him. I contimplated gettin him to go again just for that purpose but decided against it.

Nice kill Ricers just don't get it. Maybe they think that your brake lights are going on because of a bad fuse or something... after all, you never hit your hazards.

Nice kill, you will get challenged often in your camaro, but only rarely will the conditions be safe to engage and kill. See they can punch their cars in lots of situations, because they go nowhere fast. We, on the other hand, have to make sure we have plenty of space in front when we get on it.

Lol another first to the list. Before the race I thought that one of the sheets of ice that had fallen off the truck had gotten infront of me without my noticing and I had ran it over. Atleast I thought this because of the white object in the rear view after a bump under my tires... Then when my dad got home from work he came inside and asked "what the hell happened to the front of your car?" I go out side and sure enough it was a piece of the factory rs kit I guess now I'll just take the whole thing off, wasnt sure if I liked it in the first place.
