Default First time

I wouldn't post this except its the first real time I got into a "race" in the year I've had my car and it's got a good ending.


I was leaving my buddy's house and he wanted me to get nasty when I left the neighborhood, cuz he wanted to see if you can hear my car from his house. So I get nasty leaving the neighborhood and this little Mazda Protege was behind me when I did it. We go alittle bit down this road and he follows me when I turn right onto 610 ( four lane divided highway ). He proceeds to do a fly by, that got my attention so I dropped to second and creep back up on him, get even and he tried to punch it early but I just drop the hammer and leave him in the dust ( bout 2 lengths or more, I didn't really look except he was back there a good ways in my mirrors ). It was a tiny race, llike 55-60ish to 80. Best part tho was when he did another fly by his girlfriend rolled down her window and was beaming at me and stared the whole way past. I would've stopped that fly by but I was turning so I didn't feel like messing around anymore.


I got a 98' Trans Am, A4, 3:23's, Bassani cat back and a functional aftermarket ram air hood but I don't think that played a roll in this

Mazda Protege lol, I had one of those before I wrecked it drunk. I laugh whenever one attempts to try to be fast around me, cause I know it has 0 *****. Good kill.

One tried to race me the other day, but it was at a stop sign, around 6:30pm, in a neighborhood, right before the narrow two lane road curves.. And there was 2 kids on bikes on the sidewalk a little ahead of us..... So I decided to let him "win"

Now I have a tainted image of Proteges... Good kill
