2 gay 2 curious wanna be

Ok so I’m at the Wendy's by my house, and me and my friend just finished eating our food, when we see this kid with an 87 or 89 prelude, I can’t remember which. Its the one with 4 wheel steering, 2.0 si was the badge on the back. I've met him a couple times before, and let me tell u this kid is all about the race. Anywhere, anytime, he really doesn’t care. So the first thing he says when I pull up next to him is "Yo what’s good with this race" I’m like ahhh shit, I told him I would (I really didn’t want to, I mean the cars so old and shitty, its not worth it).

After a couple minutes of him bitching, I was like aight man, I’ll run u. So the kid orders food, burns out right up to the window where u pay, and I'm thinking, "what the **** did I get myself into". We leave Wendy's and start driving to a place the kid knows is safe to make the run (or at least he thought it was safe, obviously are safe definitions are very different). The whole drive there, which was probably about 3 miles, was all side streets, and this kid is just flying thru stop signs and just whippin it around this neighborhood. I think it really got him mad when he realized I wasn’t going to follow his lead in this little pissing contest he was trying to start. So we go to this place called Janes hill, it’s a dead end with nothing but state owned property on either side. We turn around, line up and get ready to run.

The problem is, this straight is really not long enough to do this, but I wasn’t really paying full attention cause this kids car sounded like it was about to explode. So I do the three-honk thing, and we launch (I’ll admit it, he had a great launch, my bumper was at his door but I was definitely pulling on him), hit about 50 when a turn comes up, and I realize this kids trying to play a game of chicken. I shut down first, way before he did cause I wasn’t skidding into a tree. So the driver of the prelude lets me pull up next to him, and he’s like "the street on the right is really long, it will probably be better" so we make the right, and I’m looking, the streets decently wide, but its a neighborhood, and I really don’t like racing around people. We take a cruise down the street to see what its like, I notice its a little curvy, and populated, saw two cars pulling out, so already I’m like this is a bad idea. We turn around and go back, and the kids just pushing for this race. I'm really still unsure of how safe it would be since it wasn’t that late. I think for a minute, and decide to take another ride up the road and check it out again.

This is the weird part, probably about halfway down the straight, I’m just cruising checking shit out, when I see a women walk out and get her mail. It was such a movie coincidence I couldn’t ignore it, I pulled up next to the kid and I was like "bro, u can take that first race as a win, cause I definitely am not racing on this street" he’s still trying to get me to go but I wasn’t having it, just drove off.

Goodjob! Freeways and empty fm type road are ok, just residential places are dumb. Too high of a risk of injuring someone... Plus if you hit a dog or cat, or kid.. lol, you might loose hold and stablility and fly into someone house or backyard.

That kid probably went home and told all his friends how he smoked a civic or something. That really pisses me off.
