Default C5 kill

So i'm driving home from the beach today and some punk in a c5 is sitting at a stop light so i pull up next to him. He had the top off so i could see plane as day that he was some rich kid with daddy's vette. Jelous? maybe.. He started reving the **** out of it at me so i threw a rev back.. knowing that i have no chance being a stock lt1, I gave it a shot anyways... light turned green and i spun like a bitch (still learning how to launch) and he jumped a bit then stopped and i'm like wtf? then i realized that he stalled it. Needless to say i had a good laugh at that one.

Not really a race but whatever.. i beet a vette

Thats not a fair race. If he would have got off the line more than 100 ft. than you could have taken the bragging rights.

um, you're right it wasn't a fair race because the other kid couldn't drive. What race is fair? the OP still won. I can see it now

"Redo Redo, I can't drive worth crap so that doesn't count!"

nice kill, you know after stalling he wanted to run and hide. But hey, it's happened to us all at least once (could have been his first time driving a manual).

He's right. You know your pretty slow when you have to brag about beating a car that wasn't running when you raced it.

Yeah I'm glad he's here. He's the only one on here with a "sleeper" that actually sleeps like 2-3 adults.

Nothing like a 307 to get your blood pumping!

I'd too if I came home to that sled.

Dude, the story was obviously posted to bring a little humor to the site. He states very clearly that he is jealous of the vette and knows he probably has no chance to beat it. It was meant for a laugh and, if anything, he DOES have bragging rights because he is bragging that he is obviously a better driver than the other guy. What the hell is wrong with you and why do you need to come in here and bring everyone's mood down with "oh, well, uh, his car is OBVIOUSLY slower, so there are no bragging rights there, even though he is not bragging that his car is faster and he DID get his car 100 feet down the road, unlike the other sorry sap". Again I say, get bent, ********.

And again I say, NICE KILL PRETYFLYWHITEGUY. That was a GREAT story. (and sorry about hijacking your thread to yell at that douche...)
