Default Got a kill last night....

And didn't even have the car running...

I just installed a cam a few weeks ago, and my tuner and I was out drive tuning my car. We pulled into a corner store, and this Four banger that was riced out pulled up in the intersection next to me and my tuner.

There were two guys in the car, and the passenger was staring us down, while his buddy was popping the throttle. Well after about 30 seconds of this guy hitting his rev limiter, the car dies.... Ellis (aka TwoFast4lv), my tuner started to laugh his *** off, while I am sitting there shaking my head at these kids.

Well they were pretty imbarrased and both sat back out of view, trying to start the car, and holding up traffic. Once they got it started they slowely pulled away from the green light that had been green for a good 45 seconds..

Ha ha I thought it was pretty damn funny, and thought you guys might get a kick out of it.

wow, that's sad and funny all at once. Ricers are about as useless as one-legged man in an ***-kicking contest...

To tell you the truth, I am not sure what kind it was... It kinda looked like an altima.. One of the older ones.. All I know is, it had a big wing, two different sets of rims, and a tin can for a muffler. Was white, with tint.
