Funniest Thing Happened Last Night
I was coming home from work last night and as I pulled up to a Red Light, I come up next to this early 2000s Civic sitting at the light, and it has one of those temporary donuts on the front drivers side. It was nice out so I had my windows down. When I stop the Civic driver starts revving at me. I laughed out loud and looked over at him. It was some punk with his hat on sidways and his "girl" sitting next to him. I say "girl" becuase it looked like a man with boobs, but that's beside the point. Here's the convo we had while waiting for the light to change:
Me: Should you be trying to race with a donut on? Aren't they only rated to 55mph?
Him: I'll be fine, I'll be way ahead of you before we even reach 55mph.
Me: *laughs* Ok, lets go.
He revs again, and I rev Nymphadora to 4k (cutout is open and he's on my right)...it was funny to see him and his "girl" put their hands over their ears.
WEll, light turns green and I half throttle it through 1st and 2nd, to keep him right next to him while he's redlining. When I hit 3rd and go WOT, I hear this loud pop (freaked the hell outta me, cause I thought I'd blown another rear end). All of a sudden, I see his headlights swerving all over the road behind me...HE BLEW HIS DONUT OUT!!! I slow down, with the intention of pulling over with him to help him out, cause I don't think he had another spare. I pull over on the side of the road, and he goes by me at about 10-15 mph, with his front end real close to the ground cause he was driving on the donut's rim, heading towards the gas station about a half mile up the road. As he goes by he has his hand out the window giving me the one finger salute of defeat.
I was laughing all the way home...
