Raced Grandpa and Grandma last night


I was traveling down I-526 to go to work last night when this copper colored 1996 4-door Accord automatic merged onto the highway. It was to old people. They had to be at least 60 or 70. Well I passed them as they merged and all of a sudden *woooooooooooosh* they gas up and fly by me. I began laughing and decided to play their game. I dropped it into 3rd and let my new Tanabe exhaust roar past them.

Well we begin going up a bridge and they pull up next to me, and floor it. I jump on the accelerator also. They pulled ahead for about 5 seconds, but then I pulled nicely on them making 110 mph at the top of the bridge. Once I broke the crest I was gone. There was no way that the were gonna win now. Well we keep on going and they follow me to my exit. We both get off and pull up next to each other at the light. We roll down our windows and give each other a thumbs up and say "good race". Then we head our own ways.

That was fun. Have any of you ever raced a senior citizen? or are you a senior citizen........lol.

there was a guy on s2ki.com that was next to an old lady in an audi TT at a light. he thought nothing of it, til she slammed it off the line and screamed down the road. he never got the chance to catch up, since he didn't even have the car in gear.

however, about 2 months later, he did run into the same lady again at another light. again she acted like nothing, but this time he was ready. at the green light, sure as ****, she took off, but so did he and readily handed her grandma *** right back to her. lol

Some of us old farts were building engines and racing in a time that most of you kids only see in movies. The only reason I keep my Firebird around is so I can go out and play with the kids once in awhile. If you come around here and see a black Firebird Forumla with an old fart driver, better have your pampers on. It's just a little ole LT1 automatic, so I don't have to shift, got arthritis in my clutch knee you know.

BTW: I'm not fond of stoplight racing, but I'll do it just for fun. We prefer to go out on I 59 and go for top end.

Hmm... that sounds strangely like something I wrote on here one time... oh well.

Haha, I guarantee when I get old, I'm gonna start racing. I'll have nothing to do except put kids in their place. I plan on going 100mph everywhere once I retire. What're they gonna do? Arrest me? I'll have their young *** sent to jail for age discrimination.

The age discrimination ploy won't keep you out of jail. Trust me on that.
