I got Blown Away
by a 16 year old in a 1992 Pontiac Bonneville. That's right this kid pulls up next to me at a stop light and starts reving his engine. My wife, his girlfriend and I can't stop laughing. When the light changes he lites up his front end and leaves me for dead. I pull away slower than usual. I don't want to encourage the lad.

Speaking of Buicks. I had a kid pull up next to me back in College in a buick skylark. Small 4 door, white, looked like a dog. I was in an 87 Buick Grand National with mods (it was fast) The light turns green and I nail it thinking I'll just go a block and stop cause he is going to get smoked. Well we go a block and I look over and that car is right beside me and this kid is looking at me grinning from ear to ear. He was probably laughing at the look on my face. Anywho, we let off the gas about then and i had to turn to goto class and he just kept going straight. I never saw him again and have no idea what he had under the hood but it was stinky fast. I think I remember seeing a T-Type emblem on the back of it but don't recall buick making a t-type 4 door skylark. It wasn't a V8, car was not big enough but it was quiet.

If it had been a ricer, it would have been the other way around, for me anyway.
