Default Learned my lesson

Ok so there was a grogeous blonde next to me at stoplight, and she says 'hey is that fast? ' I reply, let's go for a ride and I'll show you'. Being the young man that I am I fell for the ego trap. So she hops in and I forget that I am no longer in a kids car and I nail it, first then second powershift and the rear brakes loose and I nearly loose control and hit a tree. I will NEVER make this mistake again as it may kill me and some innocent people ... just wanted to confess and clear my guilty conscience :o

Just be happy you weren't getting a humjob when you hit the tree.

I hope you told her you are a seasoned, professional driver and she should never try that.

That's where you 'splain that you were just showing her how well Active Handling works, and that your car - while being rocketship quick - is also a technological marvel. Get's 'em every time...

Oh brother, you missed the whole point. She didn't give a damn about how fast the car was. She was picking you up, man. Instead of nailing the gas, you should have taken her for a nice spirited but very controlled ride and some conversation telling her how you don't like to race the car on the street (but if she'd like to go out to the track with you some time....), stopped at your favorite pub for a couple drinks, and then taken her home and nailed HER! Just my $.02, but next time, be a man, not a macho kid. That way, you get to keep the car AND the beautiful blonde.
