Default Spinning to Victory!

It was a rainy day and i was just leaving from a party at around 1 o clock... I proceeded towards a light and saw this big ass exhaust so i moved to the other lane to see what it was clinging too.. It was a Type Argggg!!(Stickers anyways) 4 door integra with shaved doors so it looks like a 2 door stretched. I proceeded to look over and notice it was an asian guy about my age... so i gave him the classic asian stare down and he acknowledges... Light goes green and we both ease off the clutch cause it was wet outside (light rain)... I let him take the lead and then i gunned it... to around 8,500 and shifted into second right into vtec evened with him... and all of a sudden the rpm climbed fast as shits!!! i knew right then i was screwed cause i felt my rear end swaying back and fourth, i looked over and i was pulling while i was spinning second!!!... i shifted into third and gained control and he pulls right beside me was had his jaws dropped. He had wtf was that manuever look... I had the oh shitznat!!! i cant believe i'm that stupid look!!

you do not want to shift hard in the rain in this car.

yes... please please please be careful in the rain. I already lost control in mine in the rain once and I won't do it again.

There was this busted ass looking newest body eclipse with a horrible pep boys looking exhaust and american racing wheels and blue neon ground effects. I was next to him laughing my ass off as the car in front of me turns right. I immediantely downshift into 2nd and blow right by him, then I cut right in front of him and shift to 3rd and as soon as I disengage the clutch my rear wheels started spinning and my back end started drifting back and forth. I finally gained control in the turning lane to his left... I basically drifted over 2 lanes. I then slowed down and he got around me and was laughing at me. Yeah I'm faster, but I looked like a complete douchebag.

Sometimes you have to just know you have the faster car and not risk your baby
