Default bad *** race!

I was sitting at a light when I hear a Ford Ranger (around a 95 or so) throwing revs at a Suzuki Areo (looked kinda new), they both had passengers and I saw nodding going on from the Areo so I pointed it out to my g/f and when the light turned green they took off, the ranger spun a little in 1st and the areo got about a 1/2 car length on him. After the shift (you could see the back end squatting before shifts) and the ranger pulled him hard and passed him...then the ****** in the ranger had the ***** to put on his hazards to signal a victory! I followed them to sonic and the guy in the Areo said he thought he'd win and the guy in the ranger said he should go home and get his bike and then he'd show me what's up I told them that race was like watching two geriatric patients go at it and rolled out

I was i my F150 behind the two old folks. The guy that thought shouldve won was in the aerio, I didnt even know suzuki made cars I thought it was just those little SUV things

edit-I forgot to mention as we all pulled up to sonic he gets out and says "No wonder my car wasnt fast look at all this crap I got in the back." lol this guy was wierd though I couldnt tell if he was joking or not and he kept running up to random people and yelling in thier face holding the right side of his face saying "CRICKEY I GOT BIT IN THE FACE BY A CROC, HE BIT ME FACE, LOOK AT IT, HE BIT ME SO I KICKED HIM IN THE ****" sounding like the crocodile hunter guy funny guy
