Default Funny Ricer story...

I figured you'd all get a kick out of this. Just to preface this I drive a Pikes Peak white 2004 Nissan 350z.

A couple weeks back I was trying out a new octane booster in the car (I usually just use the STP stuff), this is that Nitro-Methane based stuff that NoS makes. Well I dumped it into my tank and topped off while I was at lunch at work, and figured it would be nicely mixed in by the evening. Well, I go out for a sammich for dinner, and on my way home I pull up to a red light in the left hand turn lane (pulling onto Flora, for you other holiday dwellers).

There is no one anywhere near me, and a cop who I can see eating his lunch in a nearby parking lot. Ive got my stero off so I can hear the engine better, and I rev it gently a couple times to see if theres any difference (stuff works great BTW, but its expensive). Well I reach down to turn my TCS (traction control system) back on as Im almost home and not going to be hot dogging it anymore. Unbeknownst to me, some kid in a ricer Civic pulls up next to me at this point.

Well my light (Im making a left remember) turns green, so I make a normal left. Genius in the civic who apparently thinks were racing (I guess he heard me rev earlier) goes WOT through a red light (hes going straight) right in front of a cop who is now not looking happy.

No clue if they caught him, but I thought it was pretty funny.
