The RX-8 "Lost"

I was at a red light on Grand ave. When I came up to a Honda S2000. He said what up, I said what up. Then the light turns green, I'm gone. I get to 4th gear clean with no car in sight when this roaring S2000 comes from behind and passes me! The driver chucks the Duce, and he's gone.

The S2000 driver just doesn't know how to drive the thing.
I'd say you won, he lost, just by the simple fact that you were off the line quicker, and for long enough to get to fourth.

Not as bad as my experience...

Here i was at a red light on an empty 2 lane road with miles ahead of me. From behind, a beautiful women appears floating atop a night black F430 with the top down. Her long blonde hair waves and spins behind her in the wind. She looked at me, and I at her, and we knew what was coming. VROOM VROOM goes her engine in a loud sexy roar, and ZOOM ZOOM goes mine with an anxious grin. Yellow turns the apposing light, then red, and we both are staring for an eternity waiting with our feet on the petal itching to push harder. SCHREECH goes her tires and mine, 1st gear, 2nd gear, 3rd gear... I saw her laughing as she passed doing 70mph more then what my meager 8 could muster.


Dang it should have got a faster car. lol Naw the 8 is awesome.

I know what you mean, it's like this time I was waiting on an elevator at the hospital when I remembered I still had to file my tax returns and it was almost April!

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense! Why would a Wookiee, an eight-foot tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of two-foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.

NoTears you are wrong in your conjugatin' assumption'. Da wookie lives on ENDOR because he is a slave to the 2ft Ewoks of whos main trade is slave labor. That is why he is there and for no other reason and THAT makes sence ladies and gentlement of this standing jury. The Judge fines NoTears $3.55 million dollars for being insensitive to Chewbacca.

Line em up & race in reverse. It's much more entertaining, and takes more driver skill. Make sure you hit the rev limiter.
