Default 5.0 Curb check

So here I am, wife in the car, and heading to pick up luggage for our trip from my mother's house. I'm stopped at a light with a long straight-away in front, but we're in a heavily policed area. This kid in a 5.0 which was obviously modded for drag pulls up beside me and does the typical rev and such to try and get me to race. There are too many reasons to count not to do something so stupid in this part of town.

Anyway, after a full few minutes of driving with him trying to get me to race, he finally gives up and gets all the way over into the right hand lane. Then, right before the turn we both will make, he runs into the curb. I think he was watching me for some reaction or something because he just drifted to the right and went about 2 feet over the curb before jerking it back onto the road. I could not stop laughing at this kid.

Of course he tears off down the street we turn on so we can't get next to him and convey our amusement.

Also, he had a straight drag setup, including the wafer thin front wheels, I can only imagine he completely warped that thing ing instead of driving.
