ok what the hell...

Guys, I know our cars are slow, but what just happened to me will stick with me forever.

I'm driving home from one of the local car meets (usually 100-200 cars show up) on a long stretch of highway. This highway is, for the most part, straight and it's late at night so it's fairly empty, except for a Mustang GT that was picking on me and a Dodge Caravan (one of those early 90's model ones). You must all be thinking "Oh he got beat the *** out of by the Rustang," but no. I'm here to tell you that I was beat by a f*cking Dodge Caravan. A god damn mini-van. And the MOST STRANGE part about this mini-van is that it also took out the Mustang GT. IT PASSED A HIGH HORSEPOWER DOMESTIC! WHAT IS WRONG HERE!!!?!!

I call either BS on my eyes (ghost car) or a sleeper. A HARDCORE sleeper.

Haha sleeper van. Maybe the mustang wasn't even trying. And yes, civics are slow, but those minivans have big engines for the most part.

no rear and I think he is being truthful. He is from a small *** town with strait *** backroads where unless you have something really fast you don't race because you never know what may kick your ***. He also has a high 11 vega
