ford contour

I'm with a buddy of mine who has a stock LS1 camaro and we are driving down the freeway. I'm in the left lane, he's in the middle, and we're just enjoying the day.

A car comes up from behind pretty quick so I move over ahead of my friend. My friend pulls into the right lane, and the grey car that was behind me pulls up. It's a ford, and I couldn't tell what it was at first until I saw the "contour" sticker across the top of his windshield. Cuz. You know. contour is something to be proud of so you should put one of those on the windshield so people don't think it's a mustang or something. lease:

It's some younger guy, probably 18 or 19 and he has 3 friends in the car. 2 guys and a girl. The girl is kinda fat, so I don't give that a 2nd look. He starts doing the "jerky" revving motion while we are on the freeway. Mind you we are already going about 85mph, so we'd be able to race to his maximum speed and that's it. Meaning we'd be able to race to 90 and then his engine would blow up.

Suddenly he purges his nitrous line out and it blows across the top of the car from his hood. oooo. I'm shaking. A contour with nitrous. It's interesting that he buys a contour sticker, an el-cheapo wing, and do-it-yourself window tint, but then blows money on a nitrous system. Hell, he doesn't even have an exhaust.

So anyways, I downshift to 4th, and of course my friend is already ready in his camaro (the guy is a worse race ***** than me.... 26 tickets in 2 years, haha). We go, and the contour doesn't even stand a chance. Of course, my friend's camaro pulls on me too, but we both leave the contour, with it's nitrous and all, as just a speck in the rearview.

I'm sure his excuse would be the 300 pound fattie he has riding along. She must add at least 2 seconds onto his 1/4 mile.
