Default Owned and Almost Clipped by a Jeep SRT8 *VID*

I see this SRT8 on my way to work almost everyday, and today he was nice enough to give me a race. I really should not have accepted since the roads were patchy wet here and there.

He took the hit and I lost traction and he was the ***-hander.

We got into traffic, and he had a choice of backing out and braking, or taking over my lane. Guess which option he chose. I'll see him again.

* Edit - If I had the cash handy, I would buy one of these. Pretty fast for an SUV.

I don't think he's an *** hat, just way too cocky and made an awful split second decision thinking his car was way faster or something lol

I agree, I had time to let off a bit. Just a bad decision. I didn't get mad. He was in front and maybe thought that he'd left me in the dust.

I should not have taken the race because of the conditions anyway.

Asshat fits perfectly IMO. He could have ruined both of you guys. Why does it sound like you have a V10 in your car lol?

What was so bad about his move? Maybe the vid fails to show how really bad it was. To the OP, everyone calls the guy an asshat but who accepted the race in a wet road? Something to think about, huh?

I know we all race at the wrong times sometimes. Just be glad it didn't come out as bad as it could have been. It was slightly wet and there was some traffic. The outcome couldv'e been a disaster. Cross out one of your 9 lives. I know I have.
