I am not even proud of this kill...it's really not even that cool.

Today I am driving down Oxnard blvd, toward the 170fwy entrance...I hear a droning of some sort coming up beside me...lo and behold a Turbo civic...how did I know...well he kept on blowing off on me, and revving the engine on me. (Surging forward and stuff like that..) This was a red civic hatchback with a bunch of "A" pillar gauges, and a fire extinguisher mounted on the other "A" pillar.

So he stops at the stoplight..and I ask him if the car is fast..I told him after all it must be fast with all the wings and the sound it makes...and the body kit.

He says it's fast enough...and he asks me if mine is fast. I say not really..that I have been beaten many times..(I didn't tell him by what though.)

At this point I am thinking it is stupid even to race this guy. (But I had just added racing fuel so what the hell.)

So as the ligjt turns green the first thing I did was drop the throttle just enough to slip the rear tires..I knew he wouldn't be able to launch that FWD car worth a damn..)

He starts a huge burnout...I instantly start laughing my ass off...and then I drop the hammer after feathering it. 1st gear from 4000rpm to 7500rpm the wheels are spinning...I pull a car length on him like nothing...second gear and holy crap...I get at least 100 feet of rubber and then I pull more than 3 car lengths on him when I get traction. 3rd gear and I am still pulling on him, this time more violently...he slammed on the brakes and took a turn doing at least 30-40 MPH..I could hear the tires squealing...I could barely drive I was laughing so hard...he was bailing...

GOOD TIMES!!!! (Yeah it was a civic...but my car isn't that fast anyway..soo...)

Well, the very first loss I ever had was against a turbo civic. :(
