Default It's Too Easy.....

I know that it is like taking candy from a baby but I couldnt help myself.....I had just dropped my niece off at her house and was heading home late on the interstate, these 2 punks in a new Rx-8 kept taunting me to race, so I put the pedal to the metal and left them in the dust, once I slowed down they came up on me again and were giving me my props by bowing down with their hands out the windows. I know it was too easy but it still felt good........Ya gotta luv it!

I agree - These threads don't usually last too long, unless they include tails of a 1/4 mile track

The lack of support is because mods will most likely tell you "no street racing" threads and close it.

There are places that appreciate things like this, because we see it way to often. But this forum does not allow any racing or Mild Spanking stories, unless they happen at the track. That is to cover the Forum's Butt.
