First post and funny story

[Schmidt]

Hi, I am new here although I have been reading the post for a few weeks. My name is Karl I am from las vegas nevada and am 17 years old. My car is a POS 1983 chrysler cordoba with a 318 and some basic parts, Intake Manifold, 600 cfm carb, 360 heads. I've only won a few races with this car, 89 prelude automatic, 80's chevy 1/2 ton 350, 1G neon. Anyway, the funny story. About a year back I was driving my moms VW Golf, automatic 1.8 8v. I was at a red light, I glanced over to my right there was a 2000+ celica so just for kicks I reved at him and to my suprise he reved back the car had a body kit and a walmart rice can. When the light turned green I took of he must have been playing pocket pool at the time because I was ahead of him, It took him .00005 seconds to be on my ass I knew he had a faster car, and I had a freind in the car so I was not letting him pass, bear in mind i had only got my lisence a few weeks ago so i was pretty fearless so I was in and out of trafic dont know the speed but fast, still under 100 for sure but it was packed with traffic There was a red light with traffic backed up and so I flew into the Carl's junior parking lot and over the curb I looked in my rear veiw mirror he was there I flew across the street into my apartment complex where he did not follow but as I saw him flying down the street I had noticed that he had the rear of his body kit half off It must suck for him when he got hame and learned that was 200 or so dollars gone from racing a 85 golf.

Welcome to the forums Karl, hope you stick around and dont pull any burntrice's on us.

I'm not going to tell you how stupid it was weaving in and out of traffic like that though, because i'm assuming you've already realized how dangerous it was to not only you but the people around you. Good luck in future races but next time make sure it's somewhere secluded so you dont endager yourself and others and you can continue posting here.

Welcome Aboard

Ya ill be here and ill keep posting. I dont have the net at home but I am online every morning around 8:00 and frequently throughout the day since im at school. And I do realize how stupid that was now but back then, but I just cared about the thrill. And I was fearless because I had already been driving illegaly prior to that so I was an experianced driver.

That Celica driver must have REALLY been punching the clown to mess up against a Golf with atx. I feel sorry for him. I really do.

Welcome to the AF family, or lack thereof.

[drftk1d]

it says he lost to the celica, but its bodykit came loose

[Schmidt]

Lost?

If you just got your licence you should be a bit more careful. Things happen quick on the road. I know you have heard it already but its not going to hurt to hear it again

Welcome.

Weaving is a stupid shit thing to do, but I'll spare you the lecture.

I agree 100%, knowing that i just got my license not a long time ago as well (Im 16), i will not commit to race anyone or do anything stupid that will endanger myself or people around me. I wont street race untill i get the feel for my car and become more experienced in driving, not that i suck or anything... lol. but i still dont know what my car is exactly capable of doing looking at the fact that i just got it couple weeks ago. Anyways, im just saying that so you hear it from someone pretty much your age. Either way welcome, and good luck in the future!
