About an hour ago I was sitting at a light in the middle lane on the PCH when a Porsche 959 and Ferrari Testarossa pulled up on either side of me and proceed to have a rev off and race each other off the line.

I hyperventilated for a good ten minutes.

Can I provide you with a paper bag to hyperventilate into?

Two counterpoints - first, the amount of street parked rare and classic cars greatly outweighs the times you actually have to deal with traffic like that. Second, people out here know how to drive in traffic so it's usually never at a standstill, which I can deal with.

Ah I was just playing around anyways. Cities aren't for me though.

Yeah the 959 is way more advanced, no chance with a good driver.

There's a reason it's called Motown.

When it comes to cars, it's hard to beat metro Detroit.

Not even with Ferrari's rigging the test, special tires and shit? hahahahaha

Watch, the OP will get a godfather letter from Chrysler asking him to rewrite his post to have Ferrari win.

I was reading about that car and it is as if NASA was building it with them. I can't find a video or any evidence an F1 raced a 959. I would like to see that very expensive race.

If I lived down there and encountered something like that, I'd park my car and get on my bicycle.

We're allowed to wash our own cars and change our own oil out here. Also, no emissions. #nodrought #noproblems
