Default Killed a Skittle.

Just driving to work around 5am and this yellow Skittle pulls on my right side and starts to rev and trys to pull on me. So i hit the gas and slam it into 3rd and im pulling on this guy and then i slam it into 4th then 5th and now im around 100 and 3 cars in the lead. We get to a on ramp to another road. This ramp is like a "S" curve and im taking it tight and now he is way behind me. We get to the other main road and its back on. I hit the gas and im pulling on this car and bang it into 3rd then 4th and im gone. It had to be 4,5 cars before he had to turn off. Car looked good and a fun kill in a long time.

I hate skittles with a passion, its not the car no matter how girly it is. Its the drivers...they are worse than civic owner. Nice kill. By the way I love sunset orange, its incredible. If I had a bird in that color I would get a custo plate to read GET SOM

You know, to be quite honest........I don't think the cars themselves are all that bad. Just the snot-nosed kids who own them.

Chrysler always made killer boosted 4cyls and it's good to have an American made econobox that can compete with all that stuff from the land of the rising sun.

anyway.........<flamesuit on>

I wasnt even looking for this. I was eating a jimmy dean egg biscuit and coffie and then this dude comes up and starts and then im thinking open road and its been a long time since a kill and why not a skittle.

I just wish i had seen his face or if he's telling his buds he won.

I agree. The fact that the used ones are becoming cheap enough for high school kiddies to afford them is killing their already bad image.

Back in the day, they used to come over here and troll, claiming all kinds of outrageous, impossible kills. I thought it was quite funny actually until I got killed by one at the track...

I had a buddy that got killed by one and his car was no pushover. He ran low 12's on streets probably mid 11's with some suspension and he got destroyed by one. The guy had over 10g's in just the motor minus all the nitrous he had poured into it. As we came to find out later he was the owner of a speed shop that specialized in ???? neons. LOL

Were you still racing or just saving gas at this point. Good kill.
