Aaaaahhh! I'm so pissed. Some people just have no race etiquette!

Sitting at the perfect light.

Left lane: Souped up 73 Mustang (bad paint)--had to be a mid to most likely low 13 sec car. Most likely with a 460 mill.

Middle lane: 80-something V8 firebird (decent rims), not really good paint-- high 15 to low 16 sec car-- had no interest in racing whatsoever--cool, didn't really care anyway.

Right (merging) lane: '79 Mustang (me)-- high 13s

I had to swerve through traffic to get in the front and after finally there, couldn't believe my luck. But CRAP. Cop sitting at light going opposite way. Dangit. "Oh well, '73 should see it and we'll just get up in front of POC firebird and go from a roll at ~40-55 mph somewhere down the roadway" is what I think.

STUPID takes off like he's at the drag strip and I accelerate normally and get in front of firebird, and '73 keeps accelerating like he's mad. I'm thinking, "DUDE, WHAT THE CRAP ARE YOU DOING?? SLOW DOWN WH0RE !"
There's no way I was gonna race him from the light with the cop sitting there on the other side.

Okay give him another chance... maybe he'll slow down a ways down the road. NO. Dork just keeps busting like 80 on the hwy as if he's at the Laguna Seca. Naw man, I ain't doin the 100 mph catch up. Screw that.

I don't usually expect such UTTER INCOMPETENCE from a Mustang family member, but I guess hefers are born in all families.
