Default i love old ppl.

i came to the red light right next to the black 300c hemi. i didnt think that he was ganna race me since he was at least 65 years old. he had all white/grey hair and wringly skin plus he was wearing a white gloves. anyways, i slowly take off from the light and ihear his tires screaching and this old man was getting on his hemi with an evil look. i quickly downshifted to first and chase was on. when i hit second gear i pulled him about 5 cars. Here he comes with rolled down window and he gave me a thumbs up and he just said " you beat me~~." what a cool old man.

after i beat him and we were next to each other again on second light. he was getting his *** kicked by his old lady. LOL

That reminds me of my grandfather. We'd be in his F150 and hes yelling at the "old farts" to get off the road. Mind you, he was 71

Good race

That is badass! Good kill! That would suk if he got caught racing, impounded car and license suspended.

I'll race people in my flying car when I'm 70.

Thats awsome!! That will be me in about 40 more years

Could you imagine the look on the officers face when he pulls over someone for racing and a 70 year old man asks "whats the matter son?"

The old dude would have gotten a warning I bet. As far as old ppl, I had a salt-pepper haired couple give props on my 5.0 restomod at a light. I was shocked

The cop will just look at the old man and go "nothing at all, sir, thought you were speeding"

Yeah, only a true cockbag would give a 70yo man a ticket for safely street racing (i.e. no ppl around or crosswalks etc.) You jsut have to admire the youth in the old guy for it and smile

My car was built by "an old guy" definitely impressed with his work. He was running 12.20's @ over 120 mph on 7" slicks in the 70's

We were in my gf's corsica the one day at the light when this old lady in an LT1 Cadillac Fleetwood pulled up next to us. I looked over just to see what it was. I told my gf "I bet you she's going to race you". My gf replied "No she isnt shes like 80 yrs old"

Sure enough when the light turns green the lady screeches the tires in her fleetwood, you can see the wheel/fender gap on the front tires increase as she launches her car down the street. She was gone!
