*disclaimer: all of this is allegedly*

It is fun when the drive next to you at the front of the line for a red light decides to engage you.

Last night a brand new M3 pulled up next to me at the stop light I was stopped at. Didn’t think twice about it till after I started off softly when the light turned green, but then he punched it. So then so did I. I caught him in 1st gear, passed him through second, and was 2 cars away by third, so I eased off. Sad that a $65k car is that slow. Or it was him. More likely a combination of the two. It is nice to win though!

Cue a bunch of people making tire pressure jokes somehow believing that they’re original.

No Mustang/corvette = no crashy

I would never crash my someday Corvette. But then I won’t be bald and in a convertible....

It is, but I would have been beaten in a Mustang cause I hit a pedestrian.

If I don’t go bald, I don’t have to buy a Corvette. That’s what I keep telling myself too.

See I won’t go bald and I’ll buy a C6Z. But no hawaiian shirts, gold chains, convertible top, or 20 y/o girlfriend/

i have pretty near quit playing at the lights...... the timing on the good lights at the loop in the morning is off enough(its an underpass), that i can get to the other side, and through the other intersection AS the light there is turning green. and i see the police all the time at the other lights in the area. and the kids in that general area dont know when to quit, and start weaving in and out of traffic. so i been just puttering along lately...... staying out of trouble......

I want all of the above except the C6. I want as much fiberglass in my corvette as possible.

I don’t normally, but I couldn’t help show him he spent too much money for a vape mobile.

I enjoy accelerating quickly from stoplights, but I refuse to exceed the speed limit by more than 5 or so while doing it. I kinda need my license and my car :\.

Hehe. I would do that a lot in my old AWD DSM. Boost launches were fun :)
