Default Funny SRT-4 owner

Alright so i'm driving out of work and i notice an orange SRT-4 behind me
i've seen this kid b4 and i knew he probably wanted to mess with me
most likely because of the exhaust..
so we get to an open road and do a quick 2-3
and he gets me in the middle of 3rd
he slows down and waits for me and does the whole hand motion
"rock on" or whatever and sticks his tongue out
so im laughing at the kid...we get to the light and he's like how
much horsepower u got? and im like idk haven't took it to the dyno
and he's like yeah i got 255 but i'm not getting good traction the
tires spin...here look ill show ya....so the light goes green and he
does this huge ass burnout and i watch him and then follow him
we make a left at the next light and then i hear sirens
so i look back and see this cop hauling ass behind me
he goes right around me and pulls over the neon
i drive by with a big smile and a see u later

idk i was just sharing something i thought was pretty funny today

OWNED! hehe

Reminds of this one time when I had my Civic, I floored it (auto lol) to get past this Mitsubushi Mirage because the lane was ending. So he changes lanes and basically does a fly by I guess he thought I was racing, and I did chase for like 5 seconds just for kicks then stopped. Up ahead there was a bike cop with a radar gun, and this guy got nailed hard. Damn good thing I didn't keep going.

Similar thing happened to my roommate while I was in college. He had an older VR6 Jetta that was somewhat peppy, but it had major reliability issues with all things electrical. One of the problems was a faulty maintenance light that would constantly come on, then go off days later. Even when it was on and had it checked out the dealer couldn't find anything mechanically wrong with the car. Anyway, when the maint. light came on, it severely reduced the fuel cutoff point and various other engine related things that would cause the car to run like a 2.0 Jetta; most likely so that in case there was actually something mechanically wrong with the engine, you'd have less of a chance kerploding it by revving the hell out of it or something.

So anyway, the phantom maint. light had been on for a day or two. He's coming back from a grocery store run when a EP3 Civic Si wants to tango. My roommate tries to oblige him, but can't since the car is running like ass. The Civic ends up pulling bus-lengths on him as they pull onto the highway (long sweeping two lane on-ramp). The Civic decides to show him up and just keeps on it. He must have been doing 100+ easy. Meanwhile, my roommate is cursing Hitler's grave for engineering such a crappy electrical system.

Then all of the sudden, BAM! Police car just explodes out of the bushes just off the shoulder a quarter mile up and runs down the Civic. If his car had been running like it was supposed to, they would have got him hard for speeding, racing, reckless, etc etc. So, I guess Faulty Electrical System > Civic Si.

I am just absolutely shocked at that statement.

I just can't imagine a VW/Audi product with electrical problems. This of course coming from a former A4 owner......piece of shit.

kids that act like that tells you that they are new to the car. They're showing you that they can do such a thing. How stupid can you be to ask someone how much power they push and do a burn out. If anything, i would just ask them how much horses they think they have and give them a complement on the car...Anyways, thats what he got for being stupid kid like that...
