Why I really regretted "gunning it thru" a yellow light tonight

I was out pimpin the max goin to Home Depot to return some of my unused cable clamp parts from my experiment with bracing the control arms. Anyway I am approaching this light and it is stale green. I look in my driver door mirror and I see a Mitsubishi Eclipse with hypers approaching quickly from behind in the lane next to me. I think... great another person who wants to race, so I gave a little gas to put myself ahead. At this point the light is turning yellow. But instead of doing the usual stop for the light to turn red, I nailed it and got through the intersection. The other car did not. So I thought haha I got thru the light and he didnt. So I drove my merry way. I would say about 1/2 mile further, I get into the right turn lane to turn into this shopping center to see my friend. Next thing I know a quick glance in my mirror revealed that same car once again approaching in the lane next to me. I thought wow he must be driving really fast. I am already 20% into the turn when I look over and low and behold, I see a car full of hot girls, and the passenger is hanging out of the car waving and yelling "heyyy!". I did not recognize the car, nor did I recognize the passenger but she was hot and obviously was trying to get my attention. Must have been my good looks and chrome rims Immediately I went into the parking lot and turned around as fast as possible. By the time I got out I could not find them and I could not tell where they turned. So, I spent the next 1/2 an hour driving around town looking for these girls. Now I am going to be forever wondering who were those mysterious girls. Grrrr. Had I stopped at the light I would have been able to talk to them.

Your story reminds me of the "Bud" man commercial where he fails the test because he follows the girls. Don't worry, you'll get 'em next time!

Re: lol

this is the key seriously to girls,


When you do not go looking for them they will pop out of no where so relax continue enjoying life and you will bump into one. This always happens to just about everyone I know. I dont know what it is, just a mystery.

No doubt. A beautiful woman can practically throw herself at you, and when you go for it, it can be like pulling teeth to win her over. The ones that are easy aren't worth a dime. Oncem in a while we have to man up too and ignore them even though we want nothing more than to get with them. All of a sudden they're crazy about us.

Haha, a few weeks ago I was at the lake with two of my buddies. My one friend had a place he rented on the lake... well, in Lake Placid, Florida, there is like nothing to do but stay on the lake and get wasted every night, lol. So we were stopped at a convenient store to get more beer and these two hot girls pull up. I was standing outside while one of my buddies was inside and the other was in the car, and I was like, damn, there are cute girls in this town. Well, the one girl heard me and smiled, and then my buddy came out and we were about to leave. Well, the girls pull out behind us and honk the horn while were stopped at the light. Then when the light turns green and we turn the girls fly around us, get in front of us, and slow down, then they turn, the whole time watching to see what we would do. I told me friend to follow them cuz maybe they were on their way to a party or something... it couldn't hurt you know. But he didn't do it and I was so pi$$ed. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wonder.

ha ha. i was at lake placid last spring break. we did some crazy **** there. lets just say their was a police bulletin looking for a streaker and a crossdresser. they even called the fhp. good thing my friends house is literally built into the woods or else we might have been nabbed. the sad thing is.. my frien steaked but he was wearign his water polo speedos and my friend has bleached blond hair and had on board shorts and a wife beater, and the local drunks sitting outside of the gas station thought their was a naked streaker and a cross dressor. we know all of this cuz we had people in the store b4 we did this to hear their reaction. if you ever go there again, go to the local hs, its funny sticking out like a sorethumb.
