    Well tonight I was out lookin for some fun and I got it. I got it in the form of a modded sentra se-r, lol. We are messin around on the turnpike and then we finally get to a red light and pull up next to eachother and were both first in line. so i take out the camera (first race filmed, dont mind its horridness) and then right before the light even turns green he starts rolling...so im like, w/e, let him get the roll and I caught up to him in first gear, (slightly uphill) and hten had to slow down cuz some idiot decided to take a right on red and cut me off...so i jumped into the other lane and then get next to him again and by this time he had already punched it so I needed to catch up. I catch and pass him in second gear and then when i hit third i let off because i was already doing almost 80. he kept on going though and then slowed down a minute later because it was his exit. in my book I won because i had to play catch up twice while he was already on it.
    on another note...CURSE THE 3100!

    I may say rude things but learn to take a joke. The internet is funny when you can laugh.

    Nope, the car gets in the way early. If you notice it's right at the end of the little pull I did on him and he passes me.
    Thats when I floored it caught up and passed him. He probably woulda pulled a bit until mid third gear for me, but we both let off around the same time, he needed an exit and I needed to slow down.
    I gave him thumbs up but he didn't see it I don't think.
