Mid 90's Ford Escort.....yeah an Escort

So last night I was heading towards the Waffle House after a night of drunkeness. I decided to go on the street that everybody "used to" cruise on. So I can drive pretty good, but im still pretty drunk. Then the next thing I know some kid with a red mid 90s ford escort with yellow apc stickers all over it revs at me. hehe since I was still drunk i rolled the window down and immediately pointed and busted out laughing. I think this pissed him off. But I don't care im going to get some food. And low and behold at the next redlight I see him coming again. And you guessed it he revs at me again, but I rev back and my car is like 10 times louder than his cheapo ebay muffler..lol. So just for s.hits and giggles he has to do the ricer fly-by. Just thought I'd share this bit of amusement for all.

Escorts are Ford's version of the Cavalier. It's a joke. I've beaten an early 90's version and the new model escort. It was almost too easy.

I wasn't hammered. I was just at that point where you are good to drive, but when you sit real still everything is spinning again. I drove drunk once.....it was either that or go to jail. I was so scared that I was weaving all over the road and stuff, but I made it to my friends house. Driving hammered is just asking to die or go to jail.

The turbo Esocrt is otherwise known as the COSWORTH ESCORT, I don't believe they are for sale anymore around the U.S. I haven't seen one here in the U.S. ever. Never witnessed one with my own eyes I should say.
