Phate street rep is low. keep going
Oh wow.

So, our service truck broke down this morning, so I had to take my car to pick up a part. Flow Jeep is only like 10 minutes away, so im driving there, and come to a stoplight, next thing I hear is the whine of a supercharger behind me, and its a supercharged cobra pulled up next to me at the light, I cant see the driver at this point. Im not dumb and not about to race on wet roads (its been raining and freezing and the roads are horrid right now), not to mention I wouldnt have a chance. Anyway, I give no indication I want to race at all, next thing I know the light changes and I hear him squeeling, and instantly know this is not going to end well. I dont even move my car so as to make sure he doesnt hit me, and he gets about 4 lengths in front of me before losing control and fishtailing it, hops the curb and smacks it into a lightpole sideways.

So I drive over and get out and make sure hes ok.... hes 16 years old and has taken his Dad's stang without permission and is freaking out, asking me not to call the cops and all this ****. It doesnt really matter because the person in the opposite lane already had, a cop shows up and trys to say we were street racing. I got out of it because the person who called it in was still there and told him what happened.

Needless to say I feel sorry for the dumbass kid...

PS - Yea, the car was totalled, and we popped the hood afterwards, it its procharged, cammed, just built to hell... bet his Dad is going to be happy.

that really sucks. your a nice guy for pulling over though. i woulda laughed if it was some big built guy in his 30's or some ****. lol. but it figures it was a kid. wtf goes through some of their heads.lol. i made a stupid move like that once and paid. he'll prolly have a new outlook on cars like that and weather. good thing you didnt attempt anything yourself and the other guy hung around to help you out.

new drivers...Yea thats why you dont give a 300+ hp to a kid at such a young age( I started out with a Ford Ranger) unless they can repect it and be responcible with it. I got a ticket, but got out of it. But I have never ever street raced(well except that one time with the riced v6 white stang which didnt really count because i just pulled away from him and went to my exit lol) nor made dumb *** choices to pull that dumb shijt in that kind of weather! ID BE PISSED AS **** if that was my car. So phate did they try to arrest you or what...I know you get out of it but did the cops try some BS shizzle on you?

yea, i do some stupid ****, but i make sure i do it in the right areas, whetre if i screw up its not big deal ro i just dont ut myself in a position to screw up that bad, i really dont think any 16 y/o kid needs anything more then a stock lt1, and that is pushing it, because i know some of my freinds couldnt handle it, and this is comming from a 18 y/o

i couldnt handle a stock LT1.lol. the only reason i keep my car as loud as it is an obnoxious, is because i know people will watch me more carfully and ill be FORCED to behave with it most of the time. ive grown some more ***** since i started driving however ive also learned a lot and always think about what im gonna do before i do it. fine line between gutsy and smart and gutsy and stupid.

Naw, the cops around here are ********, but without a witness he had no way of charging me with street racing. Even if he did, i'd get out of it.

I really do feel sorry for the kid, because his Dad has to be ripping him a new one tonight. The car is totalled, no way around that. Airbags deployed (not sure why on a side impact) and it wrapped it around the pole a little bit. Only thing salvagable is maybe dropping the motor out into another car.
