roll kill, Intripied..

ok, so it's not the most impressive thing that we can kill, but since it's truely a nice day outside for a change here in MI, so I was driving around with my windows down and music up... at this stop light, this 2000+? interpied pull up next to me, I did noticed it says 3.5 liter on the side, but I didn't think much of it, I look over, and saw his girl looking at me, again, didn't think much of it, then when the light turn green, he jump on me hard, chirp his tire, so I was like.. "oh, why not", put her in first and hammer the gas, got some mad torque steer, but I caught up to his tail, redline the first, then manage to pass him on the second gear near 5000 rpm, and the third, I shift at like... 4000 rpm, since he is way back there and I didn't feel like getting a ticket.. then I saw him gaining fast, I drop down to 4th (I know I should drop it to third..) and hammer the gas agin, he manage to slowly pass me, since I was in 4th at around 50+ mph, so no power here, I did manage to pass him after a few sec, then I had to shut it down again, since it's my turn coming up... moral of the story, don't mess with the Max.

Hey, I call my friend's Intrepid 'Insipid' too! I guess it's a decent car, but I dunno b/c my friend sucks at driving. He tried to race one of our friends in his Civic, and ended up understeering into oncoming traffic. What a dork!
