Talking Embarrassment rather than a Kill...lol

So im on my way to work just got out of school its like 11am and I'm crusing on the freeway like at 65mph in the far left lane. When I see this red GTO far up head in the center lane..I'm like nice car.. he just got it becasue he still had the temp plates on. I really didn't pay much attention to him because i was just trying to get to work, but as I'am passing this guy I take a quick glance at him you know just to check out the car. While I was looking at his car he is talking to his girlfriend and makes a hand gesture at my car as if saying my car aint ****. I was like ok lets see what you got than... so I slow down and get right next to him to let him know its on and as soon as I got my car to a good launch point I punch it...He did the same thing but like 2 seconds into the race i can see his girlfriend in my rear view mirror telling him to stop racing almost abusing the poor guy.. .... I rolled down my window and told him wuz up?.... He just kept driving even slower now with his grilfriend all mad...I could tell who has the pants in the family

I never had that problem, when I would be racing I would focus on racing and tune my girlfriend out of my mind. She would be screaming and I would just be focused on winning paying no attention to her...lol...but now she has gotten so use to it that she just sits back and enjoys the ride.

My past GF's and current wife would always get excited. My wife has learned quite a bit over the years and really enjoys it. She does get a little tense every now and then, but if she ever yelled/hit me that would put HER in the dog house and she knows it.
For the rest of the time she does wear the pants though, so no one tell her I wrote this

LMFAO..my fiancee doesn't so much get mad, as get SCARED. I've never raced the car with her in it, but I've done a couple 0-120 WOT blasts. The one time, I really had that SS flying, hitting perfect shift points and chirping gears. I was pretty proud of myself, but she was white knuckles and heavy breathing. I guess maybe I should warn her before I do that, next time

My chick doesn't really get mad or scared, she just gets quiet. THe only time she got excited is when i was palying catch-up w/ a ford GT.
Funny thing is she gets mad when i street race, HAHAHA. I still do it anyways so it makes no diff. to me cuz she isn't in the car when i race.

My wife doesn't mind on the highway but she HATES it in town. I don't usually bring her along in the T/A though since I don't need the extra 120 pounds.

i had almost the exact same situation i was in my ss and a red 5.7l gto stop at a light next to me with some foreign guy with an accent he was telling me how he beat a car like mine and how camaros are slow compared to his gto. so i was like ok lets go...unfortunatly we were on a street not a highway and traffic wasnt good for racing so from the light i took off with 3 other people in my car and got him by 1.5-2 cars by the time i was at the top of 2nd, he then turned away. i think the extra people in my car helped me get some traction lol
