I understand it.

...So did the kid last night in the 93 NSX that couldn't get by me at all.

NSX guy
"Did you turbo that?"
Me
"Nope, bone stock."
NSX guy
"Bullsh...!!"
Me
"Serious, bone stock."
NSX guy
"I'd get you in turns!"
Me
"I'd hope so...My car is 4500 plus lbs."

Light turns green, NSX launches...gets the lead just past my bumper.
GSh just wooshes right past as he slams second and third gears.

Next intersection.
Me
"Why bother dude... Your burning up your clutch." "I'm going to get you every time."
NSX guy
"I get your mom every time!"
Me (Shaking head)
"Must suck to spend all that money just to get taken down by a hybrid."
....A HYBRID, dude. (my head out the window)

Light changes. I let him go with a smokey burnout.

Cheesy...but was a gift from a co-worker last year.

It will be funny next time I bring the car in for service.
