Laughed at an import, then felt bad about it

[StoplightWarrior]

I was going to the Giants game the other day with my brother. We were in the GT. The way to the game was full of traffic, but there was a guy in a Volkswagon Golf GTI who was near me in traffic. Everytime the traffic cleared a little, he would do a little burn out and peel out for the 40-50ft until he hit more traffic. He kept looking over at us, so I gave him the sarcastic "thumbs up" and smiled at him, shaking my head and laughing. I figured he was trying to instigate some sort of race, but with so much traffic, we would never see a chance to get on it. I thought he was basically a stupid idiot.
Finally he got stuck right next to me and he rolled his window down. My brother said, "is it turboed?" He said, "No, i wish, just intake, exhaust, and a chip. You're car is so cool man! I know it would smoke me. Wish I had a mustang." I immediately gained respect for this guy, because I realized he was just showing off cause he thought my GT was cool. I told him I thought his car was pretty nice, and I was glad he didnt rice it out. He said he just loves anything that's quick, and that he works on his own cars. He was a real cool import owner I guess. I shouldnt be so quick to judge next time.
