If you can't win, change the rules. Challenge him to a fuel mileage contest. Put the same amount of gas in each car and see who can drive furthest. You'll kick his butt.

Well I think he blew his clutch lol. We didn't even race. I was just cruisin' with him and he dropped the clutch at this stop sign and it just redlined. It smelt like burnt popcorn :-X. I ended up racing a Jeep Cherokee on the way home though, no contest :-P.

Did you happen to pass a drag strip on your way home?

Don't race on the streets. It is illegal and highly dangerous.

I try to beat people off the line while being as subtle as possible (read: no tire squeal or racing the engine). I've killed a couple Corvettes this way! I stay under the limit, though.

That's the thing. I did it subtly, so they had no idea. It's always fun being the first one off the line.

I may have phrased that wrong. I beat him to the speed limit (50 mph) after the light turned green :-P.

Where's the fun in beating a Jeep in a drag race?

I get a kick out of when some ricer flies off the line after the light turns green, and I'm a lane over, and then he is waiting at the stoplight for a long time, and when I get there, I see the light turn green and just keep going, and then he gets passed and gets blocked in, and then I beat him to the next light. hehe stupid ricers
