So i'm waiting at a stoplight when some dude rolls up and starts revving at me...in a freakin' Prius! I slyly look over, and he's eyeballing me like he wants to race. I chuckle to myself and think 'Yeah, right.' My car is bone stock, so it's not as if i've got some NA beast of a car or anything like that. But, c'mon, it's a Prius that's revving.
his guy keeps it up for a good 15 seconds or so. Meanwhile, the light for the cross traffic has changed to yellow, and now red. The turn arrow for our section comes on, and this guy is still revving. Ok, i think, what the hell? Just go for it. The light turns green, and we're off. Well, as fast as a Prius and a stock Civic can go, which isn't very fast. Nevertheless, it wasn't close. I walked all over him, as they say.
Nothing impressive, and i certainly don't feel cool. I just thought it was funny that a Prius would try and race.

He wanted to race a Prius? Thats like racing a Geo Metro with an over sized RC car electric motor in it. I would have lost because i would be laughing so hard that the tears would've blurred my vision.

Man you should have been nice to the guy in the prius and gave him a 10 second head start so he have at least a slim chance.
