Default Killed A GST Eclipse

I was on my way home from my girlfriends house one Saturday night, I came up to red light looked over next to me and saw a guy with his girlfriend in a gst eclipse. when he saw my camaro he started reving his engine trying to show off to his girlfriend I knew he wasnt a challenge so i didnt rev back because i didnt want to waste my gas racing a eclipse, when the light turned green he floored it and i thought what the hell i should tech this guy a lesson so i hit the gas, by the time i hit second gear i could already see him in my rear view mirror i threw it in neutral and slowed down. At the next light he was waiting to make a left turn as I passed him i was flashing my emergency lights just to **** him off. maybe next time he sees a camaro he wont try to show off and get his *** handed to him.

i pulled up to a light next to some guys in an older supra (squared off looking bodystyle). i had seen them spin the tires coming out of a sideroad so i knew they were going to try me. when we took off from the light i kept it in first, i saw him get on it a little bit and i could hear a turbo spooling up. i diddnt think they made these in turbo models but i do know now that they are slow (at least this one was). it wasnt really even a race after i nailed it, looked like he slammed on the brakes i thought it was going to be a good race at first, i've never ran a turbo car before.

i dont care what lines up to me, if im going to get my *** handed, i like to see a car run, even if they're running in front of me

edit: oh yeah, i did run a S R T - 4 neon oce before, he did much better than the supra, but still not good enough. i forgot about that race lol

My friend had a built gst i know how they sound and this guys didnt sound nothing like my friends eclipse. Also i didnt want to get a ticket because theres so many cops in orange county California so i just wont race any person who wants to race in the street. But i thought this guy should learn a lesson cause he was being a show off.

Funny you mentioned that, a Metro Hatchback tried me the other night, REALLY! I was just driving and the Metro was behind me I guess on a four lane. We get to a light and we're up front, side by side. It's night too, pretty bare streets. Top's down, and I decided not to listen to the radio, just the exhaust . I hear a whirring sound from my right, I look over and see the silhouette of somebody lookin at me from the Metro, and I realized a Metro revved at me Light goes green, they take off (thats when I see its the Hatch one) and I just sat there. It just didn't seem right to smoke 'em. I catch up to the car about a half mile down the road and they speed up and leave me. But I caught them at the next light and I showed them what my little car could do. They didn't catch up to me though

NOTE: This CANNOT represent my first kill!!!

Back to the topic, good kill. Yeah they hate the hazards LOL.

Acouple of speeding tickets... or... one racing tickets will change your mind.
