Default Do you know where your kids are?

Myself and the lil woman were heading home tonight about 10:00 on Govt. Blvd. here in Mobile, Al when a nice guards s2 pulls along side. Just when it registers what Im looking at the driver downshifts hard and pulls away. Of course I'm cruising in sixth and a little stunned...so as my ego begins to catch up I drop a gear to catch up and the S2's flashers come on. Ugh. The guy ambushes me on a busy street then gives me the flashers...then at the next light I'm thinking revenge(stupid) but there's an old p.o.s. honda with a fart can in my way. Light changes and off they go with the S2 dropping the clutch and banging second extremely hard. Honda passes another car on the right(turn lane). They were near a hundred mph past the state police station. Funny thing is that the S2 couldn't pull on the honda. Btw I was driving the R32. Somebody's kid is out destroying their very nice S2 streetracing hondas...oh well.

Probably some kid in his parents car while they are on vacation or out for dinner. They will have a tough time hiding a blown ring and pinion soon enough!

My 951 is guards...but the primer spots and jackstands are a dead giveaway ..ha ha. If it was my kid I'd be in jail right now. I'm definitely getting old. My ego was saying go get him but common sense and my spouse were telling me otherwise. The S2 seemed pretty quick at first...until it couldn't lose the honduh. Maybe the honduh was a sleeper...I haven't seen the local kids display that kind of cunning though.

o man i would have loved to be in a r32 and a s2 who thinks he is super man comes up next to me. but if i really wanted to race i would just go down to danbury (10 minute drive) and you see a ricer every 30 seconds.

Ted Wright will agree with me on that!

Some kid who lives around me who always boasts that his lincon is better then my car and his fathers 928 will "eat me for brunch" totally blew either the tranny or engine when he was trying to mess with me and missed a downshift from 4th to 3rd but when into first instead . His dad wasnt pleased... nice 928 too

I was tempted to run with him, as I still have frequent moments of immaturity, but there were quite a few other cars. With my luck the other guy would have crashed or caused somebody else to. That woulda sucked. It was a really nice S2, I just didn't get the feeling it was a kids car, I could be wrong though.
