Default Killed a..... LIMO!

I was in a nearby town last night, and their prom was going on. Anyhow, a limo pulls up beside me at a light, and shoots me a rev. I shoot it right back, and its on. He puts his foot on the break and revs it up a few thousand RPM, so, I did too. When it went green, I completely let off and just kinda babied it at a roll, letting him jump on and off the throttle to jostle the passengers a bit. After a few seconds of that I took off just to show the people inside what my car really has . It was fun all in all.

glitch, That was a neat, out of the ordinary experience! It reminded me of that program on MTV(even though I'm 47 yrs old!)called "Scared", or something like that.
These four guys in tuxes hop into a limo, thinking they're on their way to the school prom. Unbeknownst to the four guys, the whole thing is a set-up. The limo driver starts acting a little nuts by driving like Joey Chitwood. All of a sudden, they find themselves entering a 2 1/2 mile oval, race in progress, going against 160mph traffic! You should've seen their expressions!
I think several pair of shorts were changed that evening.

Nice one, sounds like something I would do. The real question is, was it a lincoln, or a cadillac. Cuz ya know only GM could put out that kind of performance!
Anyways, nice, I like to see people have fun with their cars. Probably no one in an exotice would have played along.
