Default being a DD can be fun :)

The other night I was on my way home after picking up my slightly intoxicated brother and our roommate from a local club. We're on the interstate and my roomy decides to start flying the bird out the window to all the cars we go by. The first was a civic hatch who wanted to play but that ended once I dropped into 2nd (around 60mph) and gave the go pedal alittle nudge (he just backed off). The second car was an Evo IX, judging by the front end, I never got to see the back. My roommate throws the bird, they start laughing so I drop the handle and wait. He gives the three honks... I give him about a car length then mash the gas. I pull hard through 3rd, making up the distance and then sum. Shift into fourth and leave him not so happy. Mods were unknown but aftermarket BOV and exhaust were a definite. Some go-fast stickers too, we all know those are worth a few horses

Way to knock 'em off their high horse... it would take an EVO a decent amount of work to be able to match your car in the 1/4 (I assume), and a GOOD amount of work to be able to match you from a roll.

I've never been down the quarter before. There is a track about an hour or so away but I need the car to go from point A to point B everyday. I don't think the rear would hold up that long. Short shifting the whole time and starting out in 3rd at 60mph is alittle below the curve. Getting a dummy light soon along with a few spohn products maybe some ET streets too

If you throw the bird around like that it south dallas or houston, you might get three bullets instead of three honks!

I understand when you are saying, believe me I didn't encourage him. We have plenty of cars rollin on 22 inches also.

yeah, i was referring to throwing the bird at any car in that area, but I hope no one would be dumb enough to throw fingers at ANY caddy with dark tint!

Nice kills. Sounds like your buddy was being a bit of a dick, but ah well.
