you guys will never believe what i just lost to

ummmk....yeah.....i found out today that my car is well slow, ummmkkkkkay, just couple minutes ago i was coming home from work, about 1-2 minutes away from my place, this white car decides to take a turn into my road which forces me to slow down so i dont hit his rear bumper, but its actually speeding up quite well, nonetheless, i decided to pass it on the left lane, caught a glimpse of the car and it looked kinda old skool, its emblems are removed in the back and it has dark tint all around, by the time i was exactly about 1 car length ahead of him (i bet you he saw my altezzas) he quickly speed up and i let him pass, i try to catch up with him and he keeps speeding away, a yellow light is emerging and look at that! its just me and him at the red lights! i knew he was gonna go for it, i wont hold anything back, usually i dont race cars with no fart-cans, or cars that try to bait me, but it has been a long time since i caught a race, so heck! this guy will do just fine, i try to look through the tints, and it looks like an old dad (40+ yrs old) i rolled down my window but the dad didn't even look at me and just starred straight ahead okayyyyy....i understand,.....nonetheless, i knew he was gonna go for it, and so will I! lights are about to turn green and i dont hear him rev so i figure it must be an auto! i get ready to launch, lights goes green! BOOM! we are freakin head to head i dont freakin believe this, i should be car lengths ahead! wtf~! i'm starting to think in my head "what kinda car is the daddy driving?" he kept pulling slowing, and by the end of 3rd, he got exactly 1 car length ahead of me, i shut down early cuz i knew it was over, i cant catch up. Another red light emerges and i look for any clue for what this old skool car is. And i finally spot a "Regal" badge in the driver's side front fender,....so i just lost to a grandma car, and to make it worst, it was auto(no offence to you auto guys out there )

the buick regal looked like it was the 90-96, i remember the tail lights looking like this


now that i look at it, did the guy really removed his emblems or did they came like that? oh well, this picture doesn't have the "Regal" emblems on the front fender, but the one i raced did, it wasn't just vinyle letters, it was actually a badge, anybody a buick freak? well, thanks for reading

Those do come supercharged ya' know? One wouldn't have a problem with a stock Corolla.

It took you this long to figure that out?

Anyways, you were down on horsepower to him, as you are on most every other car on the road. I believe that model had over 160hp, but I could be mistaken.

sorry im not tryna be an ass, but thats a classic case of what carrrnuttt use to do to people, the'd be in something like yours, or a civic or spmething, and the would be suprised they lost to a sentra, an old sentra at that.

you should go out and see if you can beat a contour lol

Good point, the SC version would have blown his doors off.

Re: you guys will never believe what i just lost to

i lost to a regal once too, and it wasn't supercharged

get used to it though, regals are probably the most underestimated cars on the road
